CASTLE

"A failed ostentatious Castle structure created by the neo-industrialist 'Smed', built in 1986, that overlooks the village of Heldham, Angelshireland. The character appears somewhat miserable due to being in charge of overseeing the chaotic surrounding grounds, workers, community, and itself."

Trapped in a coffin with nothing to do…  an installation by Jacky Cheetham .

Open 6th Aug - 20th Sept 2026
Evening reception - 13th August 6 - 8pm

Through puppetry and community participation, this exhibition presents visions of future hometowns, families, loves, demons and pals.
The interactive installation centres on a forgotten puppet show set in and around ruined castle grounds in the fictional town of Heldham, Angelshireland, in the year 2066.

The show has been abandoned following a mass puppeteer revolt, with several characters attempting to break up with the production’s main character, the Castle. Throughout the exhibition, audiences are invited to reactivate a family of worn out and broken puppets, becoming the puppeteer.

Alongside the trapped in a coffin with nothing to do… installation, Cheetham will present the first UK screening of his new tv show project, Many Bad Things (2026).>>
