The Snail and The Whale at the Riverside Theatre


  • Riverside Theatre (map)

Join an adventurous young girl and her seafaring father as they reimagine the story of a tiny snail’s incredible trip around the world, inspired by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s much-loved picture book.

Longing to see the world, a tiny sea snail hitches a lift on the tail of a great big, grey-blue humpback whale. Together they go on an amazing journey, brought vividly to life through live music, storytelling and lots of laughs – but when the whale gets beached, how will the snail save him?

A heart-warming adventure for everyone aged four and up, from CDP Kids, the team who brought you ‘The Gruffalo’, ‘The Gruffalo’s Child’ , and ‘Room on the Broom’ live on stage.

Suitable for ages 5+ and their families.
