The Puppet Tree is a social enterprise which aims to encourage creativity and imagination for children. It comprises of a step-back in time, Mister Geppetto style toy shop which holds workshop space for puppet making and story telling. Behind the shop is a purpose-built tiny theatre that contains stage curtains, props and over 100 puppet co-stars to help children create their very own puppet shows. This is a unique environment, where technology takes second place to creativity and ingenuity.

My son 8 and daughters 8 & 5 spent most of a wonderful day here. My son rarely sits down with felt tips but he knew exactly what he wanted to make and just sat down until he had completed Jeremy Clarkson spending over 90 minutes finished every detail, my older daughter made a very elegant rabbit with wonderful furry ears and my younger daughter made Sooty complete with yellow raincoat and Sou' Wester. Such a lovely creative space all my children who are quite different from each other had a lovely time. And conveniently there is a small shop over the road so we popped out to have some lunch after much hard puppet making then came back and played in the puppet theatre at the back.

I've been here a good number of times and bought polishing gear, stones/crystals, all sorts. It's a fairly small shop, but it's full of goodies! They are also very knowledgeable and answer all the questions you could throw at them. Every now and again they open their warehouse, which is just down the road, lot's more stuff on display and usually a free cup of tea/coffee, what more could you want? Visit the shop and if you can visit the warehouse, you will not be disappointed!

This shop is set out of three floors, there is huge range of gifts and novelties and prices are very reasonable. The staff were very helpful and my purchase was carefully wrapped for me - without asking. Wish I had more time to explore all the unusual products available.
