Pelham Puppets Today

David Leech set up the new Pelham Puppets Company in October 2008 in the High Street of the picturesque, Victorian town of Ilfracombe on the beautiful coastline of North Devon.

Producing puppets that work well is - and always has been - of paramount importance to David, who learned his craft from Bob Pelham and by working across the various departments of the original Pelham Puppets factory in the 1970s.

Hand painted faces

Each puppet is made with the same skill and care as the original puppets that you may remember from your own childhood. Each face is lovingly painted and brought to life by a highly trained team of puppet makers and artists, so you can be sure that no two puppets will ever be exactly the same.

The pictures below show some of the puppets in production.

The puppets are proving very popular with children many of whom are discovering the wonderful world of puppet theatre for the first time. Schools also use the puppets for special projects.
