Pip Critten's String Circus combines beautiful hand crafted string puppets in a glittering setting with music, singing and audience participation to make a colourful and spectacular variety show.

Each puppet is a feature act in it’s own right. As they say in the sawdust ring “An International Line up of the Finest Circus Artistes.”

Pip finds time for children to join him on stage and try operating puppets for them selves.

Children adore the circus, and seeing puppets perform feats that few human artistes can achieve is a wonder in itself. The excitement of this lavish production is an experience they will never forget.

“The whole audience just loved Pip Critten’s String Circus. The colourful, hand crafted puppets were expertly manipulated by the smartly dressed Ringmaster to produce a show within a show. The music, dialogue and visual appearance were all crisp and clear and the highlights for me were the clown tightrope walker and the highly comical strongman” Stage & Television Today

“All the sparkle, spectacle and to sheer excitement of the real circus are brought together for this magical fantasy of and marionettes”
