Puppet Animation

" Puppetry is a subversive art form. Its essence is the animation of inert objects with life, intention and emotion. As children we adeptly create such narratives with the most unprepossessing of means.

As cultures over the past millennia throughout the world have shown, puppetry has liberated adults to do the same - to create alternative fantastic worlds of the imagination, to articulate safely the sense and meaning of experiences, and to allow the anarchic and atavistic free reign. "






The Puppet Animation Festival

" Welcome to the UK's largest annual performing arts event for children!
The What's On diary will be updated shortly to allow you to find out what's on in your local area.
The Puppet Animation Festival offers children and their families opportunities to be transported to magical worlds of make-believe. Come to one of our many events and let your child take part in journeys and adventures where they can unlock and explore their imaginations. 
Last year over 20,000 people enjoyed our events all over Scotland. We invite you to join the thousands of families heading out to venues across the country to experience the best of puppet theatre and animation. "
