Puppet festival welcomes all — no strings attached

If you’ve ever fancied trying your hand at puppetry then head along to Cork’s first Puppetry Festival.

Details of the festival will be fully revealed at its launch in the Crane Lane tomorrow night where people will be able to watch a free puppet show and get the chance to learn to how to manipulate puppets themselves.

The inaugural puppetry festival will take place from August 20- 24 in various locations around the city and will include both local and travelling acts.
