Welcome to the biennial International Puppet Festival of Skipton.
Set in this traditional English Market Town, at the edge of the stunningly beautiful Yorkshire Dales, this little jewel of a Festival is England’s most
cosy puppetry event. Over its 4 days running it offers a variety of
performances for Family and Adult audiences in various theatre venues
as well as an extensive free street programme.

The 2nd Festival in September 2007 was again a fantastic success.
We had 26 main ticketed performances many extra school / free shows, 21 companies, 40 puppeteers and sold a staggering 94% of all available tickets. The Festival Team would like to thank all the performers, the audience the funders & sponsors and all the volunteers that made this festival happen.
