THIS CHRISTMAS 

The Bolds

For ages 6+ | 11 Nov - 31 Dec 2023

Don't miss the return of Julian Clary’s much loved adaptation of his best-selling novel, The Bolds at Christmas.

The Bolds will have you laughing like a bunch of, well, hyenas, in a show which revels in the joy of being anything but ordinary.

The Wolf, the Duck and the Mouse
For ages 3 – 7 | 17 Nov- 31 Dec 2023

Based on the cult picture-book by Mac Barnett, illustrated by Jon Klassen, the wickedly funny The Wolf, the Duck and the Mouse is a deliciously dark and hilariously funny fable, which delights in the surreal notion that sometimes friendship can be found in the darkest and most unusual of places.

Tickets: Under 18s £14 - £22 / Adults £18.50 - £27.50
