Taking place over the Easter holidays, the festival offers tonnes of ticketed and free events for adults, children and families all celebrating the art of puppetry.

The fun kicks off on 19th April with a series of puppetry performances "Beasts on the Green" at the Great North Museum: Hancock, and the magical Toon Underground Parade at Exhibition Park. 

There'll also be a whole host of workshops, talks, films and the like at local venues including Northern Stage and Great North Museum: Hancock.
