Tales from Acorn Wood

The family favourite stage adaptation from Norwell Lapley Productions is back and touring the UK in 2025 and into 2026!

Based on the favourite stories by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler the beloved Tales from Acorn Wood stories are brought to life on stage in an enchanting lift-the-flap experience.

Poor old Fox has lost his socks! Are they in the kitchen or inside the clock? And Rat-a-tat-tat! Who’s that keeping tired Rabbit awake? You can also join in with Pig and Hen’s game of hide-and-seek and discover the special surprise Postman Bear is planning for his friends.

Packed full of toe-tapping songs, puppetry, and all the friends from Acorn Wood, this beautiful show promises to be the perfect treat for children of all ages.

Over the festive season this magical show will play at The Point, Eastleigh, Haymarket Basingstoke and have a 3-week run at Theatre Severn with the addition of the #1 bestselling enchanting and wintry story, Squirrel’s Snowman.

Axel Scheffler said: “I have always enjoyed illustrating the Tales from Acorn Wood stories; the wide cast of animal friends is fun to draw, and I enjoy developing their world through my pictures. The NLP team has used state of the art staging and technology to create a brilliant experience for children and I was thrilled to see my illustrations come to life, I especially loved how they created the lift-the flap effects on stage!”
