The Tiger Who Came to Tea

Explore this very special teatime through extracts and illustrations from Judith Kerr’s classic story, The Tiger Who Came to Tea, on a family trail around the garden, produced in partnership with HarperCollins Publishers. Sat 4 May - Sun 14 Jul.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

The doorbell rings just as Sophie and her mummy are sitting down to tea. Who could it possibly be? What they certainly don't expect to see at the door is a big, furry, stripy tiger! In the Story Room, take a seat at Sophie's kitchen table, play dress-up with costumes from the story or cosy up and read the book together. During May half term, pick up a free trail sheet and see if you can spot what's on the menu as you explore the garden. There are more tea-time fun and games in the Play Glade too.
