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.

Run-time: 1 hour (no interval)

Access: Wheelchair spaces and companion tickets are available. Please find more information here.

Age suitability: 3+ . Under-2s can be treated as a babe-in-arms and do not require a ticket.

Relaxed Performance: The 7th November 4.30pm will be a relaxed performance, with elements tailored to support audiences who may benefit from a more relaxed environment, such as those with autism, learning difficulties and other sensory or communication needs. House lights will remain on during the performance, light and noise levels will be adjusted, audience members will be able to come and go if in need of a break, and there is a more relaxed attitude to audience noise.

Touch Tour: There will be a free 10-20 minute touch tour 1 hour before the relaxed performance, which allows audience members to be introduced to the set, costumes and props in advance of the show. If you would like to book for the touch tour please contact the Box Office via 01923 225 671 or [email protected].
