Adapted from the bestselling books by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, Tiddler and other Terrific Tales will play a limited three-week engagement at Cadogan Hall from Friday 29 July to Sunday 21 August.
Prepare to go under the sea, out on the farm and into the jungle, as four terrific tales are bought to life on stage with live music, puppetry and a whole host of colourful characters from the much-loved titles: Tiddler, Monkey Puzzle, The Smartest Giant in Town and A Squash and a Squeeze. Funky moves, toe-tapping tunes and giggles are guaranteed.
Tiddler and other Terrific Tales weaves together four stories by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, the multi-award-winning picture book pair behind some of the world’s best-loved children’s books, most notably the modern classic The Gruffalo which has been published in over 100 languages. Together their books have sold over 75 million copies.
Tiddler & Other Terrific Tales is brought to the stage by Freckle Productions who return to Cadogan Hall following last summer’s smash-hit run of Zog.

Diamond Blade Fencing Club
Diamond Blade Fencing Club offers a fun and unique experience for both children and adults who would like to learn and enjoy the beautiful sport and art of fencing. Fencing is a very broad discipline and we make it a priority to teach our students KEY LIFE SKILLS and that includes training their MINDS & BODIES to work together.
While methodically learning the foundation techniques, our students learn to think and move fast simultaneously. This allows a fencer to develop a good memory as well as patience and perseverance.
We believe in nurturing a strong sense of individuality and self-reliance in every one of our students as well as fostering team spirit in group-based sessions. We stress the importance of playing fair and exhibiting sportsmanlike behaviour.
Diamond Blade Fencing Club is now in three LONDON locations – HAMPSTEAD, GOLDERS GREEN & KNIGHTSBRIDGE! We offer a variety of services at both locations that suit all ages:
- after school clubs
- school holiday fencing camps
- adult workshops
- kid’s workshops
