Please can you tell me how long 'We're going on a bear hunt' lasts? We have 3-year-old grandchildren and wonder if it's going to be too long a programme for them.
Sandy Foster at 2:06pm on Sat 18th Aug 2012
Hi Sandy,
Bear Hunt is 55mins long with no interval, which may be too long for some 3-year olds, but fine for others - we'll leave that to your judgement!
We'll update the website with that information now.
Best wishes,

Anyone want a surrogate granny for the performance. This has been a family favourite for YEARS but now they are all growed uo !!!!!!

Hi, what would you say is the upper age limit for a child to enjoy this please?
viv at 6:31pm on Fri 19th Oct 2012
Hi Viv,
Bear Hunt is a great family show, and we'd like to think that people of all ages will enjoy it! A suggested upper age limit would be 12 years old, but honestly, anyone still in touch with their inner child will love Bear Hunt.
Best wishes,

Would love to take my boy to this show, however, we have recently had a new addition to our family. Are babes in arms ok to come along too? Hope so! Think it would be a lovely Christmas treat for my older son.
Sarah at 9:20pm on Wed 24th Oct 2012
Hello Sarah,
Babies are absolutely fine to come too - you won't need to buy a ticket for them, but you will need to obtain a free Baby Pass so that they're accounted for! Please call the Box Office on 024 7652 4524 and someone will be able to assist you.
Best wishes,

Echoing Sarah, I'd like to take my 3 yr old but will probably have his 11 month old in tow due to lack of babysitters. Would I have to buy him a ticket too or is there a babes in arms price for under 1 or 2's as at many panto's?
Kristin at 9:58am on Thu 25th Oct 2012
Our paths crossed, thanks for the info sinaed.

My niece will be three in March, how strict is the 3 years plus age restriction?
Lisa Sarjeant at 1:09pm on Sun 4th Nov 2012
Hello Lisa,
Don't worry, 3+ is just a recommendation - we allow people of all ages in to see the show!

I've read the comments re babes in arms but do you charge for under 2s?
Sinead at 10:00pm on Mon 5th Nov 2012
Hi Sinéad,
We don't charge for under 2s, but they will also need a baby pass which can be booked over the phone on 024 7652 4524.
Best wishes,

you've said in the info above that bear hunt is interactive. Does that mean that children are free to move around and go to the front of the stage?
sinead at 5:39pm on Tue 6th Nov 2012
Will Michael Rosen be making an appearance at all? If so which date/dates please? My grandson loves him!
Paul Maddocks at 5:57pm on Sat 10th Nov 2012
Hi Sinéad & Paul
Sinéad - The show is only interactive in that there's lots of songs and bits of the story for children to shout and sing along to; children are encouraged to stay in their seats for the performance.
Paul- Unfortunately Michael isn't scheduled to make an appearance during the run, but he'll be there in spirit!
Best wishes,
Sinéad

From what age do you start charging for this production? Thanks, Sarah
Sarah at 11:15pm on Sun 18th Nov 2012
There has been some confusion with regards to the Baby pass regulations, and an error was made in one of our comments above, which has now been deleted. The correct info is as follows:
Babies aged UNDER 2 may receive a free baby pass to the show, but children aged 2 AND OVER must have a paid ticket to ensure they have a seat for the show.
Apologies for any confusion caused.

Hi, please can you advise whether the stage is high in the theatre, would a 5 year old be best sitting at the front or further back? Thanks
Emma at 8:07pm on Wed 28th Nov 2012
We took 100 children from school today and it was brilliant! The children loved it and us grown ups were in awe. We couldn't fault it - It was wonderful.
Kate at 6:04pm on Fri 7th Dec 2012
We took our two year old as it's her favourite book and were worried she wouldn't have the attention span to sit through the whole performance but we needn't have worried as she was totally spellbound. Loved it!
Rachel Thompson at 9:14pm on Sat 15th Dec 2012
are you able to use an adult passport to lesuire for this performance or is it a standard price?
Louise at 10:15pm on Wed 19th Dec 2012
I went with my partner and 4 kids ranging from 2 and a half to 7 and they loved it and so did we!
Lisa Morgan at 6:12pm on Fri 28th Dec 2012
As mum's we took our four old boys with us today, who thoroughly enjoyed it! What an amazing performance. Well worth the ticket price. Only downside is I can't get the song out of head!Well done everyone involved, and thank you for a show to take young children to.
