Wish Tower Puppet Museum

Located in Eastbourne and housed in one of the Martello Towers that were built along the south coast, the Wish Tower Puppet Museum has puppets from the earliest shadow puppets through to the animatronic wizardry of today.

With well known puppets such as Muffin the Mule, Pelham Puppets, Penny Plain & Twopence Coloured, the Thunderbirds and of course Punch and Judy on display, plus puppets from around the world such as Wayang shadow figures from Asia, Turkish Karagoz shadow puppets and Japanese Bunraku figures, there is something for everyone.

Workshops that provide an insight into puppet construction and use are also available. Open: Sat & Sun 11.00-17.00 Mid Apr-end Oct (open daily mid Jul-early Sep)
