Direct from the West End, the Olivier Award-nominated smash-hit show returns.

The doorbell rings just as Sophie and her mummy are sitting down to tea. Who could it possibly be? What they certainly don’t expect to see at the door is a big, stripy tiger!

Join the tea-guzzling tiger in this delightful family show; packed with oodles of magic, sing-a-long songs and clumsy chaos. Don’t miss this stunning stage adaptation of Judith Kerr's classic tale of teatime mayhem... expect to be surprised!

Come along before the show for a fun pre-show workshop where you will make your own roarsome tiger mask to wear during the show.

Get in the spirit a week before the show at our storytime and craft session at Newbury Library.
