Tall Stories bring their production of The Snail and the Whale - a play with music inspired by the book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler - to Theatre Royal Winchester from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 June.

The audience will join an adventurous young girl and her seafaring father as they reimagine the story of a tiny snail's incredible trip around the world, inspired by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's much-loved picture book.

Longing to see the world, a tiny sea snail hitches a lift on the tail of a great big, grey-blue humpback whale. Together they go on an amazing journey, brought vividly to life through live music, storytelling and lots of laughs - but when the whale gets beached, how will the snail save him?

The Snail and the Whale is a heart-warming adventure for everyone aged four and up, from Tall Stories, the Olivier Award-nominated company that brought The Gruffalo and Room on the Broom to the stage.
