Big characters, laughter and Christmas excitement
The Christmas Puppet Show combines everything younger children love about puppetry with the excitement and anticipation of the festive season.
A colourful theatre, lively characters, comedy, surprises and enthusiastic audience participation create an experience that feels more like a miniature pantomime than an ordinary school performance.
The show is presented by Ron Wood, an experienced children’s entertainer and workshop provider who is accustomed to working in primary schools with groups large and small.
Suitable for: Foundation and Key Stage 1. Older primary children may also enjoy the performance where it forms part of a wider school event.

Which children is the show designed for?
The Christmas Puppet Show is principally aimed at Foundation and KS1. Older children can also be included where the school wishes to bring a broader audience together.

Can we book a full workshop day?
Yes. The show can be combined with puppet demonstrations and a making activity to create a complete festive Puppet Workshop Day.
What does the school need to provide?
We require suitable access, a clear performance area and seating for the audience. Any additional requirements are confirmed before the booking.
