‘One snowy night when the Gruffalo snored and the Gruffalo’s Child was feeling bored’, she ignored her father’s warnings and set out on a night-time journey to find the legendary Big Bad Mouse. Join the London Philharmonic Orchestra in the deep dark wood as we follow the Gruffalo’s Child and her encounters with various creatures in their hideaways, on her daring midnight mission. Will she ever find the fearsome Big Bad Mouse? Before our nocturnal adventure begins, we will meet the sections of the Orchestra and even sing along with them, with three fun songs from Julia Donaldson’s ‘A Treasury of Songs’. The words will appear on the big screen so please join in with your loudest Gruffalo (or Gruffalo’s Child) voices!
