The British Puppet Guild in association with the Belgrade Theatre presents

Marionette Circus Troupe

Part of the Coventry Puppet Festival

Tue 29 Jul 2025

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls... the Marionette Circus has come to town!

Come and be amazed by aerial acrobatics on the flying trapeze, spectacular cycling stunts and trampolining ups and downs, and laugh at the antics of the cheeky clowns.

The DaSilva marionette circus troupe has been delighting audiences of all ages, around the world, for almost half a century. Each of the one-third-life-size marionettes has been individually crafted to perform its own feat of dazzling dexterity on the big top stage.

This traditional family show has been brought right up to date with all the thrills and spills of a real-life circus.

Performed by Nik Palmer, an award-winning puppeteer, and Sarah Rowland-Barker, former circus performer with Snapdragon and No Fit State Circus.
