Join Mouse on a daring adventure through the deep, dark wood in Tall Stories’ magical, musical adaptation of the classic picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

Searching for hazelnuts, Mouse meets the cunning Fox, the eccentric old Owl and the high-spirited Snake. Will the story of the terrifying 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 monstrous fun for children aged 3 and up and their grown-ups, in the much-loved show that’s toured Britain and the world!

Come along before the show for a fun pre-show workshop where you'll make a puppet friend on a stick to wear to the show.

Please note: There is a BSL and Relaxed performance on Fri 7 Mar at 1.30pm and a Relaxed performance on Sat 8 Mar at 11am.

The Gruffalo is the perfect intro to theatre for kids
