The Joy Laurey Archive is a tribute to the iconic puppeteer who has inspired generations of fans and performers alike.

At the heart of our collection is Mr. Turnip, the character who Joy created in the 1950s for the BBC's Whirligig show. His charming and endearing personality has been loved by viewers of all age.

We are proud to preserve Joy Laurey's legacy and the magic she brought to television screens and seaside resorts across the UK.
