The quintessential seaside puppet entertainers Punch and Judy are returning to entertain visitors and residents in Teignmouth this summer.

The free seaside entertainment shows from Professor Brian and his ‘bottler’ Alison Davey from the Puppetree and Professor Wilson.

Shows will take place at 12 noon, 2pm and 3:30pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays throughout the school summer holidays.

Funded by Teignmouth Town Council, the locations of the shows will be: Teignmouth Triangle, Teign Street and Northumberland Place.

Last year, Teignmouth Town Council opted to put the shows on in the town centre rather than on the promenade to encourage more people to support local businesses by visiting the town’s shops and cafés.
