Tales from Acorn Wood

Performed from Wed 15 — Thu 16 Feb

A cartoon pig, rabbit, fox and beat, wearing human clothes are interacting with each other outside, with the rabbit laying up against a tree. The show title is in a gold ribbon at the top of the image, and text below this reads ‘Based on the favourite stories by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s beloved 'Tales from Acorn Wood' stories are brought to life on stage for the first time in an enchanting lift-the-flap experience.

Poor old Fox has lost his socks! Are they in the kitchen or inside the clock? And Rat-a-tat-tat! Who’s that keeping tired Rabbit awake? You can also join in with Pig and Hen’s game of hide-and-seek and discover the special surprise Postman Bear is planning for his friends.

Packed full of toe-tapping songs, puppetry and all the friends from Acorn Wood, this beautiful show from the team that brought you 'Dear Zoo Live' and 'Dear Santa' promises to be the perfect treat for children of all ages.


Age guidance: 1+.

Please note: This show is not valid as part of the New Wolsey Season Ticket deal.
