 Puppetshows @ Paddo is a season of 12 dazzling puppet shows by Puppetease and Sydney Puppet Theatre (SPT) in the historic and beautiful Uniting Church Paddington at Paddington Markets.

Puppetry encourages story sharing and creativity. Featuring some of Australia’s leading exponents of the art in Ross Browning (Puppetease), Sue Wallace and Steve Coupe (SPT) Puppetshows @ Paddo offers visually stimulating, interactive entertainment for the whole family. And one of Sydney’s biggest, most colourful and cosmopolitan markets to boot!

Shows include: Puppetease, Funky Fins, Oh Rats, Things with Wings and the Power Puppets… See them all while enjoying the food, fun and great value shopping of Paddington Markets! And remember, Paddington Markets raise funds for the care of Sydney's homeless.
