Getting Here On Foot

The Theatre is only a 10 minute walk from Norwich Cathedral. Getting here by foot couldn’t be easier.

From Tombland, take the right outside the Maids Head Hotel, called Palace Street. Continue on the same road as it curves and becomes Whitefriars. Cross the bridge and you will see a tall brick tower of Jarrold and the large glass Barclays building on the right ahead. Just beyond the Barclays building and before the roundabout you will see the Theatre on the righthand side. We are situated in the converted church building under some large trees.

By Train

Norwich Rail Station is about 25 minutes walk from the Theatre. The most pleasant route is along the riverside footpath which you access via the terrace of the Compleat Angler pub which is opposite the station.

Follow the path past Pulls Ferry, the Red Lion Pub, Cow Tower, and the Magistrates Courts until you come up to Whitefriars road (by a concrete bridge). Turn right over the bridge. Proceed to the roundabout at the end and you will see the Puppet Theatre on your right.

Alternative walking routes: follow either Riverside Road or Prince of Wales Road.

By Bus

Various services (including the 501 and 502 Park & Ride services) stop at the Magdalen Street flyover by Anglia Square Shopping Centre.

From the bus stop it is a two minute walk to the Theatre. Walk through the car park with the flyover on your left hand side, you will come to the Barrack Street roundabout and will see the Puppet Theatre directly ahead of you.

By Bicycle

We have a handful of bike racks directly outside the Theatre to lock up bicycles and children’s scooters.
