The Gruffalo

28th – 30th April 2026

A Tall Stories production

The Gruffalo

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.

★★★★ ‘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
