The Elmer Adventure is stomping into Soho Theatre Walthamstow this festive season, an unmissable treat for kids in Walthamstow!
Kids (and their grown ups) are invited to celebrate their unique selves in their brightest, boldest, most colourful festive outfits, the perfect antidote to grey winter days. This performance will bring a riot of colour and fun to the Soho Theatre from 20 December 2025 to 4 January 2026. The ultimate festive pick-me-up for kids in Walthamstow, especially if you manage to pick up a free family ticket! Read on for the details…
If you haven’t visited the new Soho Theatre Walthamstow venue yet, this is the perfect excuse. After reopening in May 2025 following a major renovation, the theatre has quickly become one of the community’s most-loved cultural spaces. The building has been restored with careful attention to details like comfortable seating with great views of the stage. The brighter, more accessible building interior is now buzzing with family-friendly energy.
What better show to experience it with than a technicolour celebration of joy, kindness and standing out from the crowd?
Elmer Like You’ve Never Seen Him Before
Based on David McKee’s iconic books, this magical new stage adaptation from the award-winning Tall Stories (the team behind the stage productions of The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom, and The Smeds and the Smoos) bursts with music, movement and multi-coloured mischief.
Three adventurous storytellers invite families deep into the jungle as they search for a very unusual elephant… their campsite transforming into a vibrant storytelling world filled with puppetry, toe-tapping tunes and Tall Stories’ trademark theatrical sparkle. The show brings together three classic tales: Elmer, Elmer and the Tune, and Elmer and the Hippos. A perfect introduction for little ones and a nostalgia trip for grown-ups.
A Feel-Good Festive Treat
Whether your child is theatre-obsessed or experiencing live performance for the first time, The Elmer Adventure offers warmth, humour and plenty of giggles. With relaxed and audio-described performances available, Soho Theatre Walthamstow continues to deliver on its promise of being a welcoming, inclusive home for all families.
This is one Christmas outing guaranteed to leave you smiling all the way down Hoe Street.
