Norwich Puppet Theatre occupies a historic stone church building on Whitefriars in the city centre. The venue is housed within St James, formerly known as St James the Less or Saint James Pockthorpe, a structure with a distinctive square tower. The theatre is run by the Norwich Historic Churches Trust, which has transformed the redundant place of worship into a working arts space.
The puppet theatre presents regular performances and is accessible by telephone on 01603 629921 or through its website. Visitors can email info@puppettheatre.co.uk to enquire about shows and bookings. The venue’s postcode is NR3 1TN, placing it within easy reach of Norwich’s central shopping and cultural areas. The conversion of the church building reflects a broader pattern across Norwich of adapting listed religious structures for contemporary cultural use whilst preserving their architectural character.
