Welcome to Norwich Puppet Theatre, a professional company, community outreach organization, and a venue based in the heart of Norwich. We are dedicated to promoting the art of puppetry through our performances, workshops, and educational programs.

Our History

Norwich Puppet Theatre was founded in 1979 by Ray and Joan DaSilva. The couple had a passion for puppetry and wanted to create a space where they could showcase their skills as well as provide opportunities for other artists to do the same. Over the years, Norwich Puppet Theatre has become one of the leading puppet theaters in the UK.
