Our activities as part of Doors Open Days Weekend are for everyone.

This year we have Professor Clive Chandler of Tip Top Puppets, performing his world famous Punch and Judy at 11am, 1pm, 3pm each day (shows free).

Watch one of the best Punch and Judy men around, you won't be disappointed.

You can accompany Malcolm Knight the founder of the Centre, passionate about puppets and masks, on a tour to the workshops after each show finishes.

Or simply try out our cafe, with lots of home-baking, soup, rolls, and refreshments, while children can colour-in and cut-out a puppet or mask at the cafe tables, all materials provided and lots of design kits to choose from.
