00:00Hi everybody, welcome to Pelham Lodge Puppet Museum. Do come in have a look. My name's Martin. Let's see what we can see
00:12Here we are, this is a vast array of puppets the children go wow
00:17There's so many puppets here, but I'd like to have a little look yourself. These are my performing monkeys
00:23They've actually performed at the Blackpool Town Circus
00:28Here they go
00:30And this is Jacko, the performing somersaulting monkey. These were used many years ago on the fairgrounds and they actually
00:59Excited children to have a go on the fairgrounds. So that's the Jacko and his performing monkeys
01:29I'm ready
01:59Well Macboozle is one of the most popular puppets that Bob Pelham put out, but I do have a 20-inch
02:19Pelham Puppet Macboozle, which is a very rare one and
02:23That came from my very special friend Roger Stevenson in Southport
02:29There's a tiny mini one that's Trug which I had when I was a little boy
02:33And I gave all my puppets away in my early teens to two adopted children
02:39Since now I've been buying them back quite a lot more expensive than when they first started
02:45Now the Father Christmas band, which you've seen a lovely collection
02:48they came from the Christmas shop, which was the old Woolworths shop in Blackpool and
02:55The shop was just about to close down and I did a little
02:59Deal with the owner and they've now housed here at the Puppet Museum
03:04Yeah, Pelham Puppet Museum here is located at the Pelham Lodge Hotel
03:10That's General Street Blackpool
03:12And if you want to come and visit the puppets and have a little performance
03:16Give me a private call. We'll set up a little exhibition for you
03:21So you can run around hearts content now for schools
03:25I do workshops so they can come along sit down
03:28We play with the puppets and they can see a Punch and Judy show as well
03:33Or if you've got a private birthday party
03:35What better than come to the Pelham Lodge Puppet Museum or if you're wanting something different for a meeting?
03:41Why not visit me? It's different and it's very unique
03:52Enjoyed the tour of the Pelham Puppet Museum. I've enjoyed myself and I hope you enjoyed looking at the puppets
03:59It's very exciting
04:02Lots and lots of puppets to see I hope you'll come along and see them
