About This Event

Warwick Arts Centre brings Tall Stories’ stage adaptation of *The Gruffalo’s Child* to life this festive season, based on the much-loved picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. The production follows the Gruffalo’s daughter as she bravely ventures into the deep dark wood on a snowy night, ignoring her father’s stern warnings about the legendary Big Bad Mouse. With its charming blend of storytelling, music and puppetry, the show is designed to captivate young audiences and is suitable for children aged three and over. This enchanting performance forms part of the venue’s Christmas 2026 programme, offering a perfect family outing during the holiday period. Tickets are available from just £10.30, ensuring affordable access to live theatre. The production promises to deliver the same wit and warmth that has made the original book a household favourite, while encouraging little ones to embrace curiosity and courage. Audiences can expect a delightful journey through the snowy wood, complete with memorable characters and gentle humour. Warwick Arts Centre continues its tradition of festive family entertainment with this faithful yet inventive staging, inviting children and adults alike to share in the magic of the season.
