The Tailor of Gloucester will arrive at Salisbury Playhouse on 23 December 2026 to bring Beatrix Potter's classic tale to life with dramatic flair. The production follows a diligent tailor racing against time to complete an extraordinary coat for the Mayor while his mischievous cat, Simpkin, disturbs household peace in pursuit of mice. Tickets are available from £5.00 for this festive theatrical experience set within a historic venue.
The Tailor of Gloucester is busy working on an extraordinary new coat for the Mayor which must be ready for Christmas Day. Meanwhile, his naughty cat Simpkin is busy chasing mice. When the Tailor suddenly gets poorly, someone is going to have to help to make sure the coat is completed. Who will come to the rescue and make sure Christmas is saved?
Join us for an interactive, magical musical show for young children and families this Christmas.
Building on the success of the 2019 production, this brand-new version will have new songs and a fresh look. From the writers behind The Night Before Christmas (2016 & 2018) and Little Robin Redbreast (2017 & 2020).
