About 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.
