Saints Alive Puppet Team

26 January 2026

For more than twenty years the Saints Alive! Puppet Team have been sharing bible stories in this fun and engaging way to audiences around the district.

Using parodies of well-known songs and some ventriloquism they perform sketches of bible stories and talk about themes found in the bible.

The team are based at Woodseats Methodist Church in Sheffield but have members from all over the city.

Glyn Jones is the Team Leader, explains how it all began, he said: “The vision came (as with so many initiatives) from Easter People. We started in a small way at our own church, but an outdoor Churches Together event in the local park in 2003 proved to be the catalyst through which we became well known.

“Bookings have included school assemblies, outdoor festivals and carnivals at many locations (for many years in the Peak District), church events and services, training workshops, an Easter presentation at Sheffield Children's Hospital and two shows in the Montgomery Theatre in Sheffield.”

If you’d like to find out more or would be interested in booking the team for an event, please do not hesitate to contact us, but please bear in mind that we are a small team which limits our number of engagements.
