Direct from the West End and nominated for an Olivier award, The Tiger Who Came to Tea returns on tour, celebrating over 10 years on stage.

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!

Join the tea-guzzling tiger in this delightful family show. Packed with oodles of magic, sing-a-long songs and clumsy chaos!
