FAQs

​Where does the Punch & Judy show work best? 

It’s a flexible show that works well indoors or outdoors, in spaces where the audience can be seated a few feet back from the booth for clear viewing. It’s ideal for festivals, museums, heritage venues, schools, family fun days, care homes and holiday parks. The setup is straightforward and sound can be provided where needed.
​

What does the school show include?

Perfect for primary schools, the show mixes fun, magic and a touch of chaos while covering topics like Victorian England, seaside life, puppetry and British culture — all brought to life with jokes and surprises.

​

 Can I book the magic show instead?
