Join us for a Pinocchio Puppetry and Drama Workshop – a playful adventure designed for children aged 5-8 and their grown-ups who are Deaf or use BSL.

Create your own world of endless possibilities in this interactive workshop inspired by Pinocchio’s story of self-discovery, freedom and family. This workshop is Deaf led with British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation, and whether some or all your family group are Deaf or use BSL, everyone is welcome to take part.

Together you’ll explore the story, characters and first steps of puppetry in a workshop inspired by our unmissable musical version of Pinocchio by Charlie Josephine and Jim Fortune.

This event does not include a visit into the Globe Theatre. Extend your experience with a Globe Theatre Guided Tour.

These workshops are designed for children aged 5-8 and their grown-ups. All under 18s must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult throughout the workshop, and we encourage everyone to take part together.

In between red pillars and under a roof that reads 'The Globe Theatre' with a crescent moon, the letters for 'Pinocchio' hang down on golden strings, in front of a twinkling night sky. The words 'a magical new musical' appear on a blue ribbon, above a 5 star review from WhatsOnStage.

Four people are aboard a giant paper boat against a bright blue, cloudy sky and a sea of dark blue material. Two are standing; one in Shakespearean dress holding a paper skull, another in a purple fairy costume holding a paper mast. The other two are crouched, with one wearing a paper hat, pointing out to sea, and another looking through a paper telescope, scratching their chin.
