Deep sea divers and deep sea creatures roam wild beachside, entertaining onlookers as extraordinary marine puppets from Erth take over the Pav and the promenade for a weekend of roving performances – and you can join in!

Sit back and watch the magnificent puppets pass you by as they animate the shoreline with colour, movement and marine magic. These roving performances are open to everyone. 

Join the Workshop and Be Part of the Performance

Sign up for a hands-on workshop where all ages can join the action.

Across a fun, interactive 40 minutes of workshop and performance, explore the art of puppetry where you’ll learn the elements of choreography, interactive performance and how to breathe life into your creations. Working as a group, you’ll help create a shimmering school of fish and other sea creatures before taking them for a joyful swim along famous Bondi Beach, and finally joining the magnificent professional puppets in a performance along the promenade. 

Suitable for ages 5+  workshop includes performance. Registration required.
