Puppet Festival

Join us for a fun-filled celebration of Punch and Judy with lively puppet shows taking place throughout the three-day event. Bring the whole family along to enjoy the laughs, discover the history of these classic seaside characters — and don’t miss the face painting fun too!

You can also pick up a special children’s activity pack (available to purchase) full of engaging content: learn how to make your own wooden spoon puppets and puppet theatre, enjoy colouring sheets and puzzles, and find out all about the famous faces in the show, from Mr Punch to the crocodile. It’s the perfect way to keep the fun going at home!

The festival is free but usual pier admission prices apply and face-painting is extra
