Step into a world where animals chat, adventures unfold, and laughter fills the air! This fast-paced, feel-good musical brings Dr Dolittle’s incredible journeys to life with energy, humour, and heart.

Expect a show packed with unforgettable characters, daring rescues, and plenty of surprises. Meet Polynesia the Parrot, Gub-Gub the curious pig, and the legendary Pushmi-Pullyu in a whirlwind tale written by Alex Weatherhill and directed by Clare Maxwell.

With a talented cast of rising stars, this one-hour spectacle (plus interval) promises fun for the whole family.

Every ticket includes a free digital programme, a chance to meet the cast as you arrive, and photo opportunities after the show.

For an extra treat, grab an ‘Animal Activities’ pack—filled with puzzles, keepsakes, and real ways to help our furry friends—available to purchase with your ticket.

From the team behind The Wind in the Willows (2022), Pinocchio (2023), and Treasure Island (2024), this latest adventure is set to be another hit.

Burton Constable Hall, one of England's most captivating country estates, has been the home of the Constable family for over 700 years. Step inside the Elizabethan gem and explore 30 grand rooms filled with fine art, exquisite furniture and decorative treasures, including the remarkable Cabinet of Curiosities. For a deeper dive into history, join a behind-the-scenes tour of the servants' quarter, where you’ll uncover the life of those who once worked here. Stroll through the stunning parkland designed by 'Capability' Brown, with its tranquil woodland trails and serene lakeside walks. Don't miss the historic stables, which includes Billy the stable boy’s bedroom and the astonishing 60-foot skeleton of a sperm whale, a fascinating link to Moby-Dick! Take a break in the Stables Kitchen for coffee and cake or refuel the family at lunch with a selection of delicious homemade food. Seasonal events and special exhibitions often enhance the visitor experience, so be sure to check the schedule. Dogs are warmly welcomed at Burton Constable Hall!
