The Puppet Theatre Barge has been putting on a programme of unique and magical puppet shows on a converted Thames barge for over thirty years.
The audience begin their journey as soon as they step onto the gangplank and climb aboard. They descend below the water line (wellingtons not necessary) and leave the real world behind.
Puppets from other parts of the world hang from the walls in retirement. The theatre’s golden curtain is softly lit and banks of seats slope gently to the roof.
A ship’s bell is rung, the audience falls silent in anticipation. Music plays, the lights dim, the theatre goes dark and finally the curtain rises to the delight of children and adults alike.
The Puppet Theatre Barge moves between two locations - Little Venice and Richmond.

Clott has a red button on his head that makes him feel different. As a baby, his head was broken in two and sewed back together using this button.
Clott wishes more than anything that he did not have that button, but it is the button that holds him together and outside forces will do anything to get him unbuttoned and destroy his story!
Argentinian puppeteer Laura Mac Laughlin and Chilean artist Enrique Crohare bring this heart warming story to life with skillful glove puppetry and plenty of humour.
The company has performed the show more than 650 times in 22 countries, participating in more than 70 International Festivals across America, Europe, Asia and Africa.
