The world premiere stage adaptation of much-loved children’s story Bear Snores On is coming to London in Spring 2024.

Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre will emerge early from its annual hibernation for Bear Snores On – a new theatrical experience for families housed in a brand new indoor pop up space within the theatre grounds.

So grab your backpack and join Mouse on a magical theatrical journey as she finds fun, courage and a whole bunch of new animal friends.

With book by Cush Jumbo (The Good Wife) and Katy Sechiari (Sweeney Todd) and music & lyrics by Harry Blake (The Tempest reimagined…), Bear Snores On is inspired by the beloved picture book, for anyone aged 4+ with a sense of adventure.

Bear Snores On is playing at the new indoor venue at the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre from 23 March to 21 April 2024.

‘In a cave, in the woods in his deep,
dark lair, through the long, cold winter
sleeps a great brown bear.’

A winter frost covers the trees of Regent’s Park, a snow storm is brewing and a tiny Mouse is looking for somewhere warm and safe to hide…a nearby cave could hold the answer but what else does it hold? Something big and brown and fluffy?
