Based on the much-loved book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.



Jump on board the broom with the witch and her cat in Tall Stories’ fun-

filled adaptation of Room on the Broom, the best-selling picture book by



Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

The witch and her cat are travelling on their broomstick when they pick

up some hitch-hikers – a friendly dog, a beautiful green bird and a frantic

frog. But this broomstick’s not meant for five and – CRACK – it snaps in

two... just as the hungry dragon appears!



Will there ever be room on the broom for everyone? Find out in the

magical Olivier Award nominated show for everyone aged 3 and up.
