Northern Ireland’s only Puppet Festival will be taking place over the Spring Bank Holiday Weekend in May, 26th - 28th May, in Newtownards.

Bigger and better than ever, the programme is jam-packed with puppets and puppeteers from near and far, street theatre, walkabouts, fantastical creatures, music and lots more!

Over three days, the town will come to life with an eclectic mix of free scheduled performances, free puppet workshops and plenty of characters to meet.

Festive Road is delighted to be bringing Harminder the Elephant to the party! She will be doing walkabouts on Sunday and Monday, and in between times she will be available for people to come and meet her and have their photos taken with her.
