'More fun than you can shake a stick at!'

Touching, funny and utterly original, Freckle Productions’ delightful adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s Stick Man is back on stage!

What starts off as a morning jog becomes quite the misadventure for Stick Man: a dog wants to play fetch with him, a swan builds a nest with him, and he even ends up on a fire! How will Stick Man ever get back to the family tree in time for Christmas?

This award-winning production, from the team behind Zog and Zog and The Flying Doctors features a trio of top actors and is packed full of puppetry, songs, live music and funky moves.

All ages welcome!

How to get to the theatre

Directions

The Bloomsbury Theatre is a short 5 minute walk from Euston mainline railway stations and 15 minute walk from King’s Cross. We’re close to a huge number of local bus routes including 10, 18, 24, 29, 73, 91, 168 and 253. Cycling racks are available immediately in front of the venue and we’re close to several Tfl Cycle Hire Docking Stations.

Nearest tube stations

Buggy/pram storage

Our Studio venue on the Lower Ground floor (underneath the main theatre) is used as a buggy park. There are toilets and a bar in that area, so it's a handy first stop-off point for families and groups who need to leave the buggy, get everyone sorted, and then head up into the theatre.

Car parking

Please be aware that the theatre is located in TFL's Congestion Charge and Ultra Low Emission zone, and we recommend other forms of transport where possible.

There are several NCP parking facilities nearby, these include:

  • London Brunswick Square (820m)
  • London Kings Cross St Pancras (870m - no disabled spaces)
  • London Regents Park (1,140m)

There are a limited number of local paid on-street parking bays. These are free after 6.30pm Monday to Friday, after 1.30pm on Saturday and all day Sunday. See the following for more information:
