Imagine a whole world no bigger than a house. A planet that can be explored in a matter of minutes, yet it is the centre of a galaxy.

With breathtaking puppetry, original live folk songs and earthy percussion, uncover the mysteries that keep this little globe turning. Live camera projection brings this tiny world to life as a wanderer learns that the smallest things hold the biggest stories. Marvel as asteroids collide and discover the curious and wonderful as new creatures evolve. 

This is a truly unique piece of puppet theatre for the whole family. Tiny Planet carries the echos of The Little Prince, inviting you on a journey to explore how we all can sometimes feel impossibly small and infinitely gigantic.

Recommended for ages 5+.

With thanks to support from Arts Council England.

Research and Development

After years of scheming and planning Tiny Planet is now in development and launching in February 2026.

We are already in R&D of the show, where we have worked directly with 5-11 year olds in Nottingham primary schools and through our play in a week production at Lakeside Arts. Currently we are playing in rehearsal and developing tech and design!
