Norwich Puppet Theatre

About the venue

Norwich Puppet Theatre is a venue, theatre company and community outreach organisation. Situated in a medieval church, it is one of only three building-based puppet theatres in England, and has been creating new shows for audiences for over 40 years.

Getting There

Bus/Train Norwich Puppet Theatre is located to the north of the City centre adjacent to the Barrack Street/Whitefriars roundabout. It is a 21 minute walk both from the bus station and the train station, and nearest bus stops can be found on Magdalen Street 4 minutes walk away.

Car There is a small car park adjacent to the Theatre – entry off Whitefriars. The nearest public car park (pay and display) is St Saviours, which is under the Magdalen Street flyover – access by car from Fishergate or Magdalen Street, and has 10 Blue Badge spaces available.

Accessibility

The venue has level access throughout and both the Main Theatre and Octagon Studio are wheelchair accessible. Norwich Puppet Theatre is a converted Medieval Church so there is some unevenness in the floor surfaces and one doorway is too narrow to accommodate a wheelchair, but alternative routes around the building are available.

Toilets
There are two accessible toilets – one off the main foyer and the other near the Octagon Studio. The nearest Changing Places toilet, for those with multiple and complex disabilities travelling with assistants, can be found at the Castle Museum, 16 minutes walk away.
