Join us for a fun, hands-on family workshop inspired by The Detective Dog.

Create your own sock puppet character — maybe a clever canine sleuth, a mischievous mouse sidekick, or a brand‑new member of Detective Dog’s team.

This workshop is designed for parents or carers to stay and enjoy the creativity. Tickets only need to be booked for children attending; this ticket includes one free adult space.
