CDP presents Tall Stories’ magical musical adaptation of

The Gruffalo's Child

5 - 7 Jul 2025

"The Gruffalo said that no gruffalo should ever set foot in the deep dark wood…"

The team behind The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and The 13-, 26-, 52-, 78- & 91-Storey Treehouses return with songs, laughs and scary fun for children aged 3 and up, and their adults…
