The Gruffalo's Child

23 Aug 2025 - Capitol Theatre

Presented by Capitol Theatre Tamworth

Adapted from Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s

award-winning picture book

The Gruffalo said that no Gruffalo should

Ever step foot in the deep dark wood….

If you loved The Gruffalo, don't miss the sequel, which returns following previous sell-out Australian tours – now in a new West End production!

Join the Gruffalo’s Child on her adventurous mission in this magical musical adaptation of the much- loved picture book.

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. After all, the Big Bad Mouse doesn’t really exist... does he?
