We all want to meet people from history. The trouble is everyone is dead!

So it’s time to prepare yourselves for Horrible Histories live on stage! With amazing actors and eye-popping 3D special effects, this astounding show is guaranteed to thrill children and their grown ups. Historical figures and events will come alive on stage and hover at your fingertips!

Can you beat battling Boudica? Will you roar with Richard the Lionheart? Could you survive the putrid plague? Would you be executed by evil Elizabeth? Will Parliament survive gunpowder Guy? Dare you stand and deliver to dastardly Dick Turpin? Escape the clutches of Burke and Hare and move to the groove with party Queen Victoria!

It’s history with the nasty bits left in to entertain the whole family!
