Clear your calendars and pack the snacks—KidsFest! 2026 is back, bigger and bolder than ever!
Running from 23 January to 22 February 2026 at the iconic Victoria Theatre, this year’s edition promises five weekends of world-class theatre magic for kids… and the grown-ups who still love to play along.
After growing from three shows in 2024 to four in 2025, KidsFest! now hits full throttle with five spectacular productions—each one designed to whisk young theatre-goers on unforgettable adventures.
From snow-dusted forests to the sun-baked Outback, pirate ships to sky-high treehouses, KidsFest! 2026 is your passport to wonder—no plane tickets required.
What’s on the Main Stage
The Gruffalo’s Child
A moonlit stroll through the “deep dark wood” turns into a sparkling lesson in courage and listening to those who care. Expect toe-tapping music, belly laughs, and wintertime magic that warms the heart.
The Koala Who Could
Meet Kevin, the sweet koala who’d rather cling than leap. When life nudges him out of his comfort zone, he discovers that trying something new can be the start of everything. Think Outback vibes, bouncy tunes, and big-hearted fun.
Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book
Jump from story to story—pirates, knights, even Goldilocks—in this glorious romp celebrating the magic of reading. Puppetry, songs, and surprises await. Warning: your home library may never be the same.
There’s a Snake in My School
From the team behind Spot’s Birthday Party and Mr Stink, this hilarious musical brings David Walliams’ bestselling mischief to life. Miranda’s “bring-your-pet” choice—Penelope the snake—outrages the Headmistress and delights… everyone else.
The 91-Storey Treehouse
Andy and Terry are back with a skyscraper of silliness—deserted islands, whirlpools, giant spiders, mysterious fortune tellers, and a very tempting Big Red Button. A riotous crowd-pleaser for ages 6–12.
