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.

Tiffany is twisting and turning and her mind won’t stop whirring- she just can’t fall asleep!
She knows there must be a PEA hidden • underneath her bed (she is a fairy tale enthusiast after all).
As Tiffany adventures down through worlds of mattresses and mysteries, she meets the restless bed folk: the bumbling Shepherd and his herd of ‘counting’ sheep, the thieving Bed-Bugs, and of course, the wise old Memory Foam...
Join Tiffany on her quest to find the PEA and get a good night's sleep. But what is really keeping her awake?
All the stories tell us that stepmothers are evil. Maybe the fairy tales are wrong...
