We’re thrilled to share the trailer for Work-in-Progress: “Akutagawa” here.

We’re proud that two of our board members were the driving creative force behind this project.

Enjoy!

📅 17–18 October 2025
📍 Skipton Town Hall, North Yorkshire

Reconnect – Revision – Re-set: UK Puppetry Symposium

Join us for a vibrant two-day gathering of puppetry professionals from across the UK and beyond. Expect workshops, performances, panels, and networking — all designed to spark collaboration, support early-career artists, and grow the sector.

💬 Where is UK puppetry now — thriving, struggling, or surviving?
💡 Where do we want to be, and how do we get there?

Let’s come together to share, connect, and shape the future of our artform. Isolation is real — but unity is powerful. What do we need from our organisations to better support us, at home and on tour?

✨ Highlights include:
Workshops and panels with leading puppetry professionals
Public performances and exhibitions
Opportunities for early-career artists to showcase work
Celebration of the British Puppet Guild’s centenary
AGM of Puppeteers UK and sector-wide networking

🎟️ Symposium Day Tickets Available Soon! See skiptontownhall.co.uk/PuppetSymposium for more details.
