Lempen Puppet Theatre is a partnership between British born Liz Lempen and Swiss born Daniel Lempen. Liz trained in Puppetry, Fine art sculpture and Mime and Daniel in Puppetry, Mime and Music. Both have been developing their work and skills as puppeteers since the late 1980’s. Lempen Puppet Theatre Company tour their own unique brand of original stories told with puppets. Imaginative, spellbinding, surprising and sometimes bonkers, Lempen focus on puppetry, storytelling, light, music and a journey that takes the audience there and back again.
To make our theatre we are inspired by Myth and Folklore, by intriguing and unconventional characters, by our sense of humour and by matters that we care about. We aim to produce quality productions for family audiences that connect the real world to the world of imagination.
Based in North Yorkshire, but touring nationally and internationally Liz and Daniel Lempen were also the Artistic Directors for Skipton International Puppet Festival from 2025 to 2023.
