The Puppet Company marks 25th anniversary with Hamleys window display

The Puppet Company is celebrating its 25th anniversary with its first-ever dedicated window display at Hamleys.

Running from June 11th to July 21st, the display – entitled 25 Years of Fun! – features puppets from The Puppet Company in a magical, summery funfair scene. At the centre, puppets play on a moving Ferris wheel, while a hot air balloon floats in the background.

Viewers can also spot colourful sock puppets and hand puppets, monkeys, monsters and more. All the puppets showcased can also be found in the large area of the ground floor devoted to The Puppet Company, centred around the Puppet Theatre.

“This display is perfect for the carefree summer months,” said Keane Herman, Head of UK Retail Trading at Hamleys.

“We’re delighted to be working with our friends at The Puppet Company on this marvellous project – especially as they celebrate 25 years of bringing puppets – and fun – to children and adults across the globe.”

Sue Lockey, Owner & Co-Founder at The Puppet Company, added: “Like many other families, we have fond memories of the whole family visiting Hamleys over the years. Being a regular supplier to the famous shop and helping with its puppet shows has been a wonderful experience – but being in the window is a dream come true.

“It’s something that my husband and our late co-founder Peter Lockey would have absolutely loved: bringing the magic of our puppets to life!”
