Tall Stories' stage adaptation of the picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, recommended for audiences aged three and up.
Room on the Broom comes to the Swansea Grand Theatre on Tuesday 16 and Wednesday 17 March 2027, with shows at 10.30am and 1.30pm both days. It's Tall Stories' stage adaptation of the picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, and it's recommended for audiences aged three and up.
If you know the book, you know the story: a witch and her cat fly on their broomstick and pick up hitch-hikers along the way — a friendly dog, a beautiful green bird and a frantic frog — until the broomstick snaps in two just as a hungry dragon appears. It's a simple, rhyming tale that works as well on stage as it does on the page, and it's the kind of thing that usually keeps the little ones properly gripped.
This isn't a new production. Tall Stories have been touring it across the UK and North America since its first preview in November 2008 at the Old Town Hall in Hemel Hempstead, so it's had plenty of time to find its feet. It's also an Olivier Award nominee, and it's been staged in German by Junges Theater Bonn as well as in an Australian production by CDP Theatre Producers.

With two shows each day — one in the morning and one in the afternoon — it's easy to fit around a toddler's nap or a school run. Both the 10.30am and 1.30pm slots run on Tuesday 16 and Wednesday 17 March at the Swansea Grand Theatre, and it's aimed at audiences aged three and up.
