Create your very own world of endless possibilities in this interactive and engaging Pinocchio Puppetry and Drama Workshop, aimed at ages 9–11 and their families.

Through practical activities, exploring the principles of puppetry, and performance, led by an experienced Globe Practitioner, you’ll explore the plot, themes and emotions of the much-loved story of self-discovery, freedom and family, in our new, unmissable musical version by Charlie Josephine and Jim Fortune.

All children attending an event must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult.

Alongside the workshop, join us for a magical performance of Pinocchio in the Globe Theatre from 28 November. It’s the perfect wintry treat for the whole family. Show tickets sold separately.
