Family musical stage show with 3D special effects bringing historical figures and events to life on stage.
Horrible Histories: Barmy Britain 3D comes to the Pavilion Theatre on Marine Parade from Friday 26 to Sunday 28 March 2027. It's the live stage version of the series, and the 3D part isn't just a gimmick — it's built into the show, with projected images and atmospheric music bringing historical figures and events to life right in front of you.
On the bill are some of the biggest names from British history: Boudica, Richard the Lionheart, Queen Elizabeth, Guy Fawkes, Dick Turpin, Burke and Hare, and Queen Victoria. They're all played by a cast of actors, and the show keeps the 'nasty bits' of history in, just as the series does, so it's aimed at the whole family. The 3D section relies on those projected images and the music, which some younger children might find a bit unsettling, and the production is recommended for ages five and over.
There are six performances over the weekend, so you've got a few options to fit around your plans. On Friday 26 March, there's a morning show at 10:30am and an evening one at 6:30pm. Saturday 27 brings a matinee at 2:30pm and another evening show at 6:30pm. Sunday 28 has an 11:00am and a 3:00pm. Each run for 130 minutes, so you're looking at just over two hours.

Tickets start from £19.75, and there's a school rate of £14.00, with one free teacher for every ten tickets bought. One thing to keep in mind: the Friday morning performance has to be booked by phone or in person, so you can't grab that one online. The venue is the Pavilion Theatre on Marine Parade, BN11 3PX.
