Event Navigation
We’re back in Mayow Park! And we can’t wait to unveil our third family show of the year, our original
adaptation of the beloved tales of master storyteller Beatrix Potter. Featuring many of your favourite
Spontaneous actors and songs based on well-known English folk songs, expect amazing action,
fabulous dance routines, wonderful costumes, crazy chases – and look out for the giant gardener Mr
McGregor!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Beatrix Potter where Peter Rabbit, Pigling Bland, Mrs
Tiggywinkle, Jemima Puddleduck, Jeremy Fisher, Mr Tod the fox and more of her countryside
creations are having a challenging day at the hands of Mr McGregor. Can the animals save the day,
along with Peter’s precious lost jacket?
This is our 19th original family show since 2017 and the sixth we have staged in Mayow Park’s
bowling green. From the same team that brought you Alice in Wonderland in 2019, Puss in Boots in
2020, The Gingerbread Man and Around the World in 80 Days in 2021, our shows are fun,
fast-moving and musical versions of well-known stories, always with a bit of a twist. This time we’ll
be asking you to stay in the same place, so do bring blankets to sit on. (As we are now sharing the
venue with Sydenham Croquet Club, we must ensure the lawn is protected, so please no high heels,
or chairs with pointy legs.)
Our summer shows are always very popular so we advise early booking to avoid disappointment.
Tickets may be purchase in advance online or at Kirkdale Bookshop in person. Any remaining seats
will be available on the door from 30 mins before show start time.
Important notice: this is an outdoor performance, subject to weather conditions. The company reserves the right
to postpone or cancel performances if necessary, offering alternative tickets where possible.
