The doorbell rings just as Sophie and her mummy are sitting down to tea. Who could it possibly be? What they certainly don’t expect to see at the door is a big, stripy tiger!
Tiger has been hard at work making sure every poster is in position, every bar is stocked, and every seat is ready for the return of The Tiger Who Came to Tea!
The stage is set, the Tiger's prepared...all we need now is you!
Special notes
Babes in arms under 18 months sitting on an adult lap do not need a ticket – all other patrons must have a valid ticket.

Amazing! Truly a gem!
We had an entertaining an Entertaining time.
It was fantastic, had a fabulous time. My little girl enjoyed and she was watching it until the end. Only down side is in the first time i booked the tickets couldn't attend for very bad illness and I had to change the date and they changed me to much in my opinion. On the day when we attended i saw the theatre was half full so don't appreciate the charge for changing the tickets for us when actually is plenty of space wasn't difficult for them to find space in the new date.
Delightful!
Great show, interactive for the kids and really built up the anticipation to bring the tiger to the stage! Two things I found a little disappointing: the main theme song from the film wasn't played (that's our favourite bit!) and the tiger didn't talk and say some of the classic lines from the film. Otherwise a nice day out.
The show was absolutely brilliant, professional, talented, very cleverly done, loved it !!!!!!!
Such a fun production for both adults and children! True to the book. Well acted and sung. Lots of audience participation. Really enjoyable for all ages!
We all went together and enjoyed so much! My son is Autistic and was engaged the whole time. Really recommend!
Very entertaining for children and interactive. Family friendly!
Great show!
Amazing show for very young children.
What a wonderful show! Me and my 6 year old girl absolutely adored it. Thank you!
