About

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?

Parental Guidance: 3yrs+

Relaxed Performances are intended for anyone who would benefit from experiencing a show in a more relaxed and informal environment. The production itself will remain the same, and all are welcome.

There is a relaxed approach to audience movement and noise, and you are free to enter and exit the auditorium throughout the performance. There will be some adjustments to reduce sound levels, and house lighting will be dimmed rather than turned off.

Wherever possible, a chill-out space will be made available (if this is on the first floor it will be accessible by lift if required).
