Into The Labyrinth: A Celebration of Puppetry at the Bognor Regis Puppet Party“The very best of traditional family entertainment comes to Bognor Regis”
This September a whole host of puppet shows, and street entertainers will take over Bognor Regis seafront.
Building on the success of last year’s Punch and Judy Festival the Bognor Regis Puppet Party 2024 will feature Punch and Judy, marionettes, ventriloquism, clowns, magicians and musicians. It will also be celebrating Jim Henson’s 1986 classic film Labyrinth.
Based at the Royal Norfolk Hotel, the free event will star Mr Punch and his world-famous sausage stealing antics in some of the funniest Punch and Judy Shows in the country, presented by members of The Punch and Judy Club.
Members of the Punch and Judy Club are some of the country’s finest family entertainers, having performed tens of thousands of shows across all manner of venues, as well as for television and film, and most recently for King Charles on his visit to Punch’s British birthplace, Covent Garden.
Mr Punch is Britain’s national puppet, he has been entertaining families for over 360 years. The character Pulcinella came from the Italian commedia dell’arte shows, and first appeared in England as a marionette, spotted in Covent Garden by Samuel Pepys in 1662. Since then, he has found a home at the seaside and become an icon of Great Britain.
Other entertainers performing at the festival include comedian and ventriloquist Max Fulham and Bognor favourite James Arnott’s Puppets on Parade.
