Half Term Theatre at Fulham Palace

Step into two half-term seasons of magical theatre at Fulham Palace. This Halloween, join Hansel and Gretel as they discover a gingerbread house, meet a mysterious old lady, and try to find their way home in this interactive retelling of the classic Brothers Grimm tale — featuring puppetry, storytelling and song (ages 4–7) — followed by The Canterville Ghost, where a mischievous ghost, creaking floorboards and clanking chains bring Oscar Wilde's spooky classic to life (ages 7+). Then in February half term, meet The Velveteen Rabbit, a quiet little toy who dreams of being loved, in a playful adventure of storytelling, games and nursery magic (ages 4–7, bring your favourite toy along!), followed by A Wilde Wedding, where you can help the Palace Courtiers save the Royal Wedding in this playful theatre adventure inspired by Oscar Wilde's much-loved stories (ages 7+).
