The Puppet Folk Experience – simply put we are puppet folk who love performing an acoustic live tribute to The Muppets and celebrating the creative spirit of Jim Henson.

ABOUT US

We started out in the Summer of 2025 at a small acoustic night in Leigh, Greater Manchester, UK. Armed with a banjo and a frog, we wanted to surprise the locals with a fun little tribute to one of our favourite puppet characters.

What happened next was wholly unexpected; we shared clips of our performance online and immediately struck a chord, with our renditions of Muppet classics touching people across the world on social media.

Since then we’ve continued to delight audiences online and on stage with our heartfelt renditions of Muppet classics and a few hand-picked songs and characters of our own. Viewers call the act “wholesome,” “magical,” and “like a hug from childhood.”

Expect laughter, nostalgia, and maybe a few happy tears.

LIVE SHOWS

Here’s a list of all our upcoming shows – if you’d like us to come and play in a town near you please contact us and we’ll see about making that happen!

Messages from ‘The Lovers, The Dreamers and You’

We love what we do — but the real joy is hearing how much it means to the people we perform for. From weddings and private celebrations to personalised video greetings, The Puppet Folk Experience has helped create moments that are heartfelt, funny, and completely unforgettable. Here’s what some wonderful people had to say about us:

“It felt like Kermit had wandered straight out of his swamp to be part of our big day, and honestly, it was one of the highlights of the entire wedding. If you want something unique, funny, and completely unforgettable, these guys are it. We’ll be talking about this moment forever!”

Jess & Tommy

“As a Muppet-mad family, we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate our wedding than with a muppet. Everyone said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to… although I think Kermit may have completely stolen the show. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about him. It just couldn’t have been any more perfect!.”

Rachael & Martin
