At Little Gem Puppets we are family friendly and have a lot of experience in working with children. We want to share the art of puppetry and invite others to enjoy it too.
​
Our shows are performed from a portable booth so we can perform anywhere. We encourage interaction from the audience and we hope to spark a light in their imagination. Our puppets are lively, colourful and love to meet new people.

Our workshops are aimed at developing a good skills base and exploring ideas whilst having fun and passing on a love of puppetry. We can focus on puppet making or work on performance with a group to wherever that takes us.

We have produced an award winning children's puppet film, worked with Netflix and in the past we have made puppets for Disney, Universal Studios and Pokemon to name a few. Our current clients include libraries, museums, arts centres, heritage events, street festivals, arts festivals, schools, organizations who work as Gaeilge (through Irish), early years training faculties and companies who use puppets as part of their marketing strategy.
