Prepare for an unforgettable evening of classic British horror on the big screen!

As part of the fourth annual Bognor Regis Puppet Party, we're thrilled to present a special screening of the legendary ๐ƒ๐ž๐š๐ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ (๐Ÿ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ“) โ€“ the groundbreaking Ealing Studios horror anthology that has captivated and unsettled audiences for more than 80 years.

From eerie premonitions and ghostly encounters to psychological terror and dark humour, Dead of Night weaves together a series of chilling tales, culminating in one of the most haunting finales in cinema history. Featuring the infamous ventriloquist dummy Hugo, this influential horror classic remains as unsettling today as ever.

๐ŸŽญ A wonderfully โ€˜puppetyโ€™ reason to visit Matlock Bath this summer! ๐ŸŽญ

Looking for a unique day out in Derbyshireโ€™s beautiful Peak District? Look no further!

Richard Coombs is back for his 21st consecutive season of Punch and Judy at the spectacular The Heights of Abraham, and itโ€™s not to be missed.

Getting there is part of the magicโ€ฆ youโ€™ll take a scenic cable car ride to the summit, with stunning views along the way, before settling in to enjoy this glorious show.

If youโ€™ve never seen Richard perform, youโ€™re in for a real treat. A highly experienced puppeteer, his incredible career includes work on:
๐ŸŽฌ Star Wars, The Muppets, and The Hitchhikerโ€™s Guide to the Galaxy
๐Ÿ“บ Spitting Image, Gilbert the Alien, and even The Honey Monster

Heโ€™s also a founding member of The Punch and Judy Club, so you can be sure youโ€™re watching one of the very best shows in the UK.

One look at Richardโ€™s stunning theatre and youโ€™ll know this is no ordinary puppet show!

Even better, Richard refreshes both his Punch & Judy show and the 15-minute pre-show each year, so returning families always have something new to enjoy. This season, heโ€™s created nine brand-new puppets especially for the occasion!

โœจ So whether itโ€™s your first visit or a return trip, the Heights of Abraham is well worth it this summer.
