Need a giant snail? A talking tree? A full set that folds into a suitcase? Nick Ash Scratch Built’s co-founder and master maker has created award-winning puppets and sets for productions across the UK. His work blends playful imagination with serious craftsmanship, and it always steals the show.

We design and build bespoke puppets, props and sets for theatre shows, community events, and anything else that needs a bit of magic. We've been commissioned by theatres, councils and creatives to bring big ideas to life. Just need something eye-catching for your next production? We also have a collection of ready-to-hire props and puppets available
