Beverley Puppet Festival
In 2006 we organised the Beverley Puppet Festival that featured 11 companies, 17 shows and various street performances over 3 days in May. Educational residencies created a schools' showcase and procession. The highlight of the festival was Pak Asep Sunandar Sunarya and troupe, master puppeteer from Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.
The 2006 Beverley Puppet Festival was funded by Arts Council England and East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
Beverley Arts Trust plan, organise funding for, and run the Beverley Puppet Festival.
