Past Event
Tiddler and Other Terrific Tales – Live on Stage Past Event

Under the sea, out on the farm and into the jungle, these terrific tales weave together a whole host of colourful characters from Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s best-loved titles: Tiddler, Monkey Puzzle, The Smartest Giant in Town and A Squash and a Squeeze.

Bursting at the seams with live music, puppetry, and laughs, help monkey find his mummy, check out George the Giant’s new clothes, see how many animals the little old lady can squash and squeeze into her tiny house and follow Tiddler’s tall tales and big imagination across the ocean.

From the team behind Zog, Zog and the Flying Doctors and Stick Man, Tiddler and Other Terrific Tales is the perfect hour-long adventure for all ages.
