About us

Why puppets, and why biscuits?!

WE LOVE PUPPETS...

We are a puppetry company based in Falmouth, Cornwall. We are on a mission to ignite imaginations, inspire action, and foster a deeper connection to the issues that matter most. And to share the magic of puppetry with everyone!

Puppets are powerful. They can make us laugh, cry, play, take action. They can tackle difficult subjects and tell brave stories. They invite us to play and remind us of the wonder of our imagination.

AND WE LOVE BISCUITS

What's in a name? We love biscuits, in all their wondrous varieties. No rehearsal is ready to begin without a packet of Hobnobs or chocolate Digestives sat waiting to be opened. So when it came time to update our name and move away from Nosey Hedgehog Puppetry (cute, but a bit too cute), we went with the next best thing after hedgehogs: biscuits.
