“Quietly brilliant.”
The Guardian
Join us as we transform our Adventure Theatre into a wintry world of imagination with magic carpet rides, journeys to the northern lights and a twinkly, snowy garden in a show made especially for ages 2-5.
Mia loves her Grandad very much. He lives far away, on the other side of the world, but finally, he’s coming to visit and Mia’s excitement is growing. When Grandad arrives he brings with him adventurous stories and games which set Mia’s imagination alight - together they explore the whole world without ever leaving her playroom.
Join Grandad, Mia (and Teddy Too) as they share an unforgettable adventure to wherever their imaginations take them. A heart-warming show that celebrates the special place grandparents have in young children’s lives.
Bring your own teddy or toy when you see the show. Share your pictures with us #BYOBear and our favourite wins a special prize!

Oldilocks and the 3 Bears
"We took our 3 yr old to watch 3 Little Pig Tails today & we all LOVED it! Wow. It was fantastic. Beautiful, simple, spellbinding. This is children’s theatre at its best. 5 stars. Thanks Garlic Theatre."
Audience feedback from previous Garlic Theatre production
Hereford Courtyard Theatre, 7 Jul 2018
One winter, Oldilocks finds a teddy bear in the park and remembers a delicious bowl of porridge she tasted years ago in the woods. Something else happened but she can’t quite remember what… so she sets off for the forest. Will she find the bears house and what will happen then?
A wonderfully funny and warm-hearted celebration of the classic story starring a naughty old lady who looks very familiar… and 3 funny bears who love their breakfast. Garlic Theatre hold their young audience spellbound with lovingly crafted puppets, music and some steaming bowls of porridge.
