Our favourite friendly monster returns with his own little terror in tow, for another intrepid adventure in the deep, dark wood...
The Gruffalo said that no Gruffalo should
Ever set foot in the deep dark wood...
One wild and windy night the Gruffalo’s child ignores her father’s warning and tiptoes out into the snow. After all, the Big Bad Mouse doesn’t really exist... does he?
We’re Going On A Bear Hunt
"Full of catchy repetition, delightful onomatopoeic adventures and actually muddy, watery and snowy frolics."
- The Stage
Children's Laureate Michael Rosen's ever popular award winning book, We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, is brought noisily and vividly to life on stage by Director Sally Cookson's loving adaptation and Benji Bower's versatile score.

Adapted by Tall Stories from the book by Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler.
"How the cat purred and how the witch grinned,
As they sat on their broomstick and flew through the wind…"
The witch and her cat are flying happily on their broomstick – until a stormy wind blows away the witch’s hat, bow and wand.
A helpful dog, bird and frog find the witch’s lost things, and they all hop on the broom for a ride. But this broomstick’s not meant for five and – CRACK – the broom snaps in two!
When a hungry dragon appears, who will save the poor witch? And will there ever be room on the broom for everyone?
Songs, laughs and scary fun for children aged 3 and up (and their grown-ups), adapted from the book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, creators of ‘The Gruffalo’.
A magical spell of really enjoyable family fun!"
