Puppet Place HQ
Free

Come inside our secret door for an afternoon of tea, cakes, puppets and technology. Puppet Place, one of Bristol’s most dynamic workshops, will be open to the public from 12pm to 6pm. Rusty Squid, the youngest resident company, will be exploring the theme "What gives life to puppets?” through a display of various the means and mechanisms that bring the inanimate to life.  The afternoon will be filled with spontaneous performances, sneak peeks into secret techniques, cutting edge tech, and warm welcomes.

Rusty Squid are a Bristol based collective of Creative Technologists.

We have come together to harness the explosive potential of combining Robotics, Puppetry, Materials, Engineering, Design and Artificial Intelligence within the visual and performing Arts.

We are committed to knowledge and skill exchange, supporting personal projects and research, collaborating on commissioned work, as well as finding and nurturing new talent.
