“… the expressiveness of the rabbit’s ears, the jolly dancing frogs, capering monkey and the graceful motion of the buzzard’s wings in flight have a mesmerising effect on their audience.”

The Barge

   The first performance on the barge was  presented in 1982. Described as:

"...one of London's more elusive treasures"

it is an established 55 seat theatre with

comfortable seating and modern facilities. A unique venue, it is fully heated in the winter and cooled in the summer. The Puppet Barge is rich in atmosphere and provides the ideal setting for the shows produced by this company.

Marionette and rod puppet spectacles

are presented throughout the year.
