Little Angel Theatre (LAT) has used puppetry to create and share inspiring stories since opening its doors in 1961; igniting the imaginations of the youngest minds. Founded in 1961 by John Wright we create shows celebrating puppetry that also travel nationally and internationally as well as hosting visiting shows. Next to the theatre stands the workshop where all the puppets are lovingly made by our puppet makers for our shows.

Our Recent Suitcase Theatre Tour⁠
⁠
🧳 The amazing cast of Bobbin's Big Adventure are just about to complete a tour of the East Midlands, with plans to travel to more prisons across the UK in the future, as a result of Big Give and other independent funding!⁠
