The Ugly Duckling

Venue: Tobacco Factory Theatres
Price: £7
Artists
Tobacco Factory Theatres, Travelling Light

Tobacco Factory Theatre and Travelling Light reprise their first-ever co-production.

The multi award-winning team behind Cinderella: A Fairytale brings all its trademark magic and mastery to a warming wintry tale of family, feathers and fitting in.

“Frost. Ice. Quiet. The farm is sleeping, snuggled up for warmth. Suddenly the peace is shattered by the arrival of… a duckling. Scruffy, clumsy and NOTHING like his fluffy yellow siblings, our unlikely, gangly and slightly wobbly hero sets off on an epic adventure to find the place where he truly belongs.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

“Hans Christian Andersen’s much-loved story comes springing to life at the hands of Sally Cookson, Benji Bower and Katie Sykes, with Travelling Light’s trademark joyful and moving storytelling, enchanting live music and fantastical invention.

“Ten years since its opening here at Tobacco Factory Theatres, and following five-star reviews and an acclaimed national tour, The Ugly Duckling promises to leave young and old and everyone in between enraptured, uplifted and asking for more.”

Ages 2+, duration 45 mins.

Sun 10-Fri 15 Dec 10.30am previews £7

Fri 15 Dec-Sun 14 Jan 2.30pm, £12/£9 concs.
