As a part of the National Year of Reading, we are celebrating some of the most famous gardens in literature in an interactive, fast paced and immersive theatre show.
Join us in the beautiful, cool Family Pavilion which looks out over the Gardens of Buckingham Palace as Time Will Tell Theatre take you and your family on an imaginative journey through some of the magical gardens of storybook legend.
Our family show is suitable for families of all ages, and will last about 45 minutes. It is interactive, but there is no requirement for anyone to join in if they don't want to.
After the show, the Pavilion will be available for families to enjoy, featuring a Book Nook, art and craft worksheet and a Palace of Play; a real play palace inspired by Buckingham Palace during Queen Victoria's reign.
