The Gruffalo's Child

-

Adapted from Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's award-winning picture book

The Gruffalo said that no gruffalo should
Ever set foot in the deep dark wood…

Follow the Gruffalo's Child on her adventurous mission in Tall Stories' enchanting adaptation of the much-loved picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

One wild and windy night the Gruffalo's Child ignores her father’s warnings about the Big Bad Mouse and tiptoes out into the deep dark wood. She follows snowy tracks and encounters mysterious creatures – but the Big Bad Mouse doesn't really exist… does he?

Let your imagination run wild with songs, laughs and scary fun for everyone aged 3 to 103.

Relaxed Performance and Touch Tour

Sun 26 October 11am

Relaxed performances are specially designed to provide a supportive environment for children and adults with learning difficulties, special needs or Autistic Spectrum Condition. The performances are open to everyone but will be particularly suited to these groups.

What happens at Relaxed performances?

The auditorium lights will be kept low throughout the show and any loud noises on stage will be softened.
Audience members may leave or re-join the performance at any time and staff will be on hand to help out.
A visual story can be downloaded in advance (see below) to explain what to expect from the performance and how to find your way around the theatre.

There will be a chill-out area set aside for those who need time out from the performance.

If you'd like any further information on Relaxed performances please speak to a member of our Box Office on 01962 840 440.


Touch Tours take place 1 hour ahead of a performance and allow the audience members to visit the set and feel the props to familiarise themselves ahead of the show.
