The show is presented by Tethered Wits.

Edith Nesbitt’s famous tale, which remains best known from the 1971 film version, tells the gentle story of an Edwardian family whose life is unexpectedly turned upside-down. 
Days stretch endlessly for Bobbie, Peter and Phyllis in their new home of Three Chimneys, a house near a railway in a Yorkshire village.

The Tamworth show takes place outdoors in Tamworth Castle Grounds.
