Local company Trash Puppets show that trash and found materials can be the basis for amazing puppet creations.
Join the crew and build your own marionettes and more from a wide selection of recycled materials.
Then take these creations into a professional greenscreen studio to capture your own memorable mini puppet movie moment.
Make Your Own Puppet Movie workshops are tailored for different age groups, with session times for children aged 2-4 years old, 5-8 years old and 9-12 years old.
Please note, parents do not need a ticket but must be in attendance throughout the workshop.
