*LATEST NEWS - THE PUPPET VAN IS BACK!*

Picture
Picture
Last summer we launched our BRAND NEW show Space Chickens - and it's back ​on tour very soon!
​

Earth’s unlikely hero: an adventurous chicken who is blasted into space to solve all of our planet’s problems. Sounds ridiculous? Not for our heroic hen who will boldly go where no poultry has gone before...

Alongside Space Chickens, The Puppet Van will also be touring with The Lost Colour - following Malcolm Brushell, professional painter and alchemist, on his quest to find the pinky-est pink on the planet!
