Puppet Theatre: Dame Judy and Mr. Punchinello

10th August 2026 - 11th August 2026

Punch and Judy join us from Grandly Strange Puppet Theatre, performances are drop-in at 11am, 1pm and 2pm.

Judy has had enough! She’s taken over the show, the booth, everything! More importantly she’s given Mr Punch the heave-ho and replaced him with his catastrophically chaotic distant cousin Mr Punchinello. Was that the way to do it?? You can be the judge.

There’s all the usual suspects plus an updated, family friendly twist, brought to you by Leeds’ very own Grandly Strange Puppet Theatre.

The puppet shows will be held in the Special Exhibition gallery, on the 3rd floor of the museum.
