How a visit works

  1. Pick a date

    Choose a morning in the calendar below, or write to us for something else.

  2. Tell us who is coming

    Ages, numbers and anything we should know about access or needs.

  3. Arrive at the café

    Coats on the hooks, a quick hello, then into the dark.

  4. Behind the screen

    After the show, small groups hold the puppets and make shadows of their own.

Book a date

Pick a morning for your visit. We will confirm within a day and send a short guide for the grown-ups.
