Meet Patch; a scruffy, loveable puppet stitched together from colourful scraps of old fabrics like nylon, polyester and Gore-Tex. Patch has lots of stories to tell and you’re invited on a hands-on adventure through time!

Together, we will explore amazing inventions from climbers reaching the top of Everest to pilots zooming faster than the speed of sound. But Patch also wonders… what happens when all these clever creations start to hurt the planet we share?

Luckily, the story doesn’t stop there! Along the way, Patch uncovers magical tales of people who use nature’s own materials to make, mend, and imagine. With Patch as your guide, you’ll discover fun, creative, and planet-friendly ways to dream, craft, and connect.
