A Tail Stories Production, based on the book by Julia Donaldson & Axel SchefflerTuesday 15 December 2026 - Sunday 3 January 2027
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.
Running time will be approximately 60 minutes; the show is suitable for ages 3+.
