Punch and Judy Festival

Covent Garden, 3 October 2010

Punch and Judy will be battling it out in Covent Garden on Sunday 3rd October when the annual Covent Garden Punch and Judy Festival takes place. More than a dozen Punch Professors will be performing their shows throughout the day in the North Hall of Covent Garden Piazza.

Once commonplace at every seaside resort throughout the country, Punch & Judy shows have been entertaining audiences for many generations. Covent Garden is a significant venue for this unique festival as it was there on 9th May 1662, when the earliest reference was made to Mr Punch – in Samuel Pepys’ diary.
