Long Nose Puppets Long Nose was co-founded in 2006 by Katherine Morton and well-known children’s author and illustrator Polly Dunbar. Katherine and Polly make the puppets out of anything and everything: latex, wood, found objects, socks, old umbrellas and the odd lampshade. The puppets range in size from handheld rod puppets to full body costumes. The company works with a company of musicians , performers and makers to create their fun filled shows. This project will be lead by Long Nose puppeteers Annie Brooks, Lisa Mills, and Sophie Ellen Powell, who between them have a wealth of experience creating shows.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
