Bristol’s Wild Puppet Festival Returns

Bristol’s long-lost puppet festival is back—and it’s wilder than ever. After a decade-long hiatus, a fresh crew of experimental puppeteers has resurrected the event with cosmic, mind-bending shows and workshops designed to make adults rethink reality. Forget kiddie parades—this festival’s got transmuting objects, street performances, and pop-up shows across the city, all aimed at sparking imagination and playful chaos. Led by Francesca Prades and Carrot Patch from Bean Pig Puppets, with help from local creatives and the original Puppet Place team, it’s a celebration of puppetry that’s as accessible as it is avant-garde. Free events abound, but tickets are required—grab yours online before it’s gone. And hey, wanna join the fun? They’re even building a giant papier-mâché puppet together. It’s time to let your inner child—and your inner cosmic weirdo—out. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
