How does a simple wooden mechanical sculpture capture your imagination?

Open your mind and watch a kaleidoscope of stories unfold before your eyes...

Discover what happens when puppetry, science and technology collide in the world of automata at the highly acclaimed Mechanics Alive!! travelling exhibition.

An Egyptian god performing sit-ups, fish jumping into a cat’s mouth and even a man eating from the bath he is stewing in are just some of the amusing and amazing machines on display.

Colourful, engaging and satirical, this inspiring collection from London’s Cabaret Mechanical Theatre includes automata from renowned UK designers and craftsmen.

“Rare it is...that you embark on a story and find so much more than meets the eye - but Cabaret Mechanical Theatre is just that.”
