Little Gem Puppets

Little Gem Puppets Finding the magic in puppetry. Puppet shows, films and workshops also work as Gaeilge founder Carmel We are based in Mayo but travel all over country.

We are puppeteers who bring joy and magic into the lives of children all over Ireland. We perform puppet shows from a Punch and Judy style booth often at festivals and events but also at smaller family occasions. We have made our own award winning puppet films and are looking forward to producing some more of those. Our puppets are cute, loveable, great fun and very entertaining so children and pa

rents love us. We have also shared the art of puppetry and inspired others to enjoy it. We have held workshops that teach others how to create and share the magic of puppetry. Sometimes it's about how to work together.
