    A unique experience, my daughter is 6 and didn't laugh as much the younger children. She still loved the magical bird and enjoyed it coming close to her. Puppets & set are handmade, and this reflects in ticket prices being a little high. You can see where the money goes and get an immersive, unique experience in return. Disabled entrance and seats. Cool shop x

    We attended the miniature sleeping beauty puppet show with our 5 month old daughter, all three of us loved it and she was captivated by the colours and songs. We can't wait to return for another show!

    Lovely little show we went to see, you could see the work gone into each puppet. Got to chat to the performer and meet each puppet after the show. Also great to see such character in the building and of puppets from days past. Thank you.

    I enjoyed the evening, and was really impressed with the drag show. Lovely setting for a theatre, as used to be a church. Was rather loud though! A most entertaining evening.

    Wonderful afternoon for 3 generations of family watching the modern and very funny Cinderella show. Will definitely be going back 😊

    Delightful small theatre in an old church building. Three generations with the youngest being almost 6 years old enjoyed Cinderella.

    We saw a fantastic production here (Cinderella, 2022/23 panto), would come again. Lovely venue and great puppetry.

    Cinderella was such an amazing show for both kids and adults. My 4 year old was much impressed and I was too. It is a clear hidden gem in the whole country. These beautiful people running this there deserve much credit, especially considering they are keeping their price affordable (can't find anything in whole London for £10). Highly recommended!

    Beautiful space can't wait for my ceremony here

    We were very happy to have visited this little theatre, we were made to feel very welcome and a part of the show. From the foyer staff to the puppeteers everyone made us feel welcome. The show, pinnochio, was mesmerising and how they managed to get so much expression in the puppets is beyond me, suffice to say if you're in Norwich, have kids (or not ) you should make a point of stopping here for an hour or so ( they also have light refreshments )

    Quirky little theatre in Norwich, visited for the opening of a new production "Stel and Wes fight the flood" (my daughter made the puppets), aimed primarily at young children and requiring some interaction from the audience we found it funny and I'm sure the children took something away regarding our environment. Seated outside in the mini auditorium it was a great way to watch the show, tickets are on sale for early August shows.

    Absolute magical place. So much history. Needs to be discovered by everyone. Go. Just go. So much to see.

  • 5/5 Harley C. 1 year ago on Google
    I feel the puppet theatre is an incredible theatre in Norwich for all ages children and parent's to all come together and watch a show. All of their productions look incredible and it's very clear that a lot of work goes into making each of them perfect for their audiences, if that be their own created production or a touring production.

    Had our wedding here on June 18th 2022 and couldn't recommend it more. Staff were fantastic, venue is huge and they ensured everything ran smoothly throughout the day. They value for money was superb and make a big difference to our big day

    Attended a wedding here. Lovely venue, and the staff took great care of us.

  • 5/5 Angus M. 3 years ago on Google
    My kids (9 and 11) and I really enjoyed the Oldilocks show. Probably aimed at younger kids but we still really enjoyed it none the less. Cant wait for a normal season of productions. Moved to Norwich recently and cant wait to enjoy the venue and its shows.

    Great play in a rambling old church, we saw A Mermaids Tail and the kids were wrapt. A one woman play, she did acting, puppets and shadow puppets - amazing.

    Mark Manders sleeping beauty was fantastic. A amazing show . The staff so very helpful with wheel chair access.

  • 5/5 Bryony H. 2 years ago on Google
    Saw a fantastic show today called Under the Frozen Moon. We were made to feel welcome on our arrival and looked after being told what to expect and when.

    Limited amount of free parking but paid parking close by. Staff were friendly. We enjoyed watching pinocchio. Would recommend for younger kids.
