About Dear Zoo

Dear Zoo - the timeless children’s classic book - returns to the stage!

Ben and Sally are searching for the perfect pet, but instead the zoo sent afar too big elephant, a far too grumpy camel, and a far too jumpy frog. Whatever will they send next?!

Help your children learn as the book leaps onto the stage and share a magical experience as the story unfolds with child-engaging puppets, music and lots of audience interaction.

Rod Campbell’s best-selling lift the flap book has delighted generations of young readers since it was first published in 1982. And has sold more than 8 million copies worldwide.

Show times: Sat 1.30pm, Sun 11am & 2pm

Tickets: £16.50
