Tom Gates Epic Stage Show

If you have spent any time reading the Tom Gates books with your children, you might be interested to know that the Tom Gates Epic Stage Show is coming to the Theatre Royal in Brighton. This production, based on the series by Liz Pichon, brings the familiar characters and the music from the books to the stage. It is a production by Mark Thompson Productions and directed by Miranda Larson, focusing on a mix of live performance and the specific visual style that the books are known for. It is a straightforward adaptation that aims to translate the tone of the stories into a theatre setting.

The show is scheduled for 30th August 2026 at the Theatre Royal, located on New Road. There are two performances taking place that day, with one starting at 12:30 and the second at 15:30. The performance lasts for approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes, and it is worth noting that there is no interval during the show. Tickets for the event are priced at £16.50. Since the theatre is right in the centre of Brighton, it is a relatively accessible location if you are already planning to be in the area that weekend.

Regarding the audience, the show is designed for families. While some information suggests it is suitable for children aged 3 and up, other guidance points towards 5 years as the recommended starting age, so it is worth keeping that in mind depending on the age of your children. The production has been touring across the UK throughout 2025 and 2026, and this stop in Brighton is part of that wider schedule. It is a production that relies on the existing popularity of the books, and it provides a chance to see the material presented in a live format. If you are looking for an activity for that Saturday, this is one of the options available at the venue.
