The Gruffalo

A Tail Stories Production, based on the book by Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler Tickets

- Tickets go on sale from 10am on Friday 17 April - 

A mouse took a stroll through the deep dark wood…

Tall Stories’ much-loved magical, musical adaptation of the classic picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler returns by popular demand, celebrating the show’s 25th anniversary.

On a daring adventure in search of hazelnuts, Mouse meets the cunning Fox, the eccentric old Owl and the high-spirited Snake. Will the story of the scary Gruffalo save Mouse from ending up as dinner for these hungry woodland creatures? After all, there’s no such thing as a Gruffalo – is there?

Songs, laughs and mischievous fun for children aged 3 and up and their grown-ups, from Tall Stories, creators of imaginative storytelling theatre, where everything is possible.

Running time will be approximately 60 minutes; the show is suitable for ages 3+.

★★★★ ‘An irresistibly charming tale told with refreshing simplicity.’ The Sunday Times

★★★★★ ‘An absolute delight.’ The Scotsman

★★★★ ‘A master-class in timeless storytelling.’ Whats on Stage

★★★★ ‘The Gruffalo is the perfect intro to theatre for kids.’The Londonist
