It is a chance to experience the nation's favourite novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe come to life on stage in this spectacular production which promises to delight all ages.
Katy Stephens, who plays The White Witch, said: 'The role of Her Imperial Majesty Jadis, Queen of Narnia in this thrilling stage version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is something I can't wait to play. The thought of casting a spell over Narnia to make it always winter but never Christmas is simply tantalising. Let the magic begin!'
C.S. Lewis' book was first published in October 1950. Since then, over 85 million copies in 60 languages have been sold. It is one of the top ten best-selling books of all time. The stage adaptation of Lewis' iconic book enjoyed a hugely successful, critically-acclaimed London run in 2022.
Producer Chris Harper said: 'We can't wait for children and adults alike to join us on this spectacular new journey through the wardrobe, and are proud to be marking the 75th anniversary of the publication of C.S. Lewis' novel with this tour.'
Director Michael Fentiman added: 'I'm delighted to be taking our beautiful production of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe on a major tour of the UK and Ireland in 2025.
"The production celebrates the magic of live theatre and is led by a multi-talented cast of actors, singers, musicians, dancers and puppeteers; it is a celebration of the possibilities of the collective imagination and the boundless wonders of individual skill."

Shoppers spot new flavour of chocolate Maltesers pouches on shelves with twist on festive favourite
CHOC SHOCK Shoppers spot new flavour of chocolate Maltesers pouches on shelves with twist on festive favourite Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHOPPERS have spotted a new flavour of Maltesers pouches on the shelves with a twist on a festive favourite. One user picked up dozens of likes and comments this week for her review of the treat on Instagram after finding a pack of five in a huge supermarket. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The new flavour has not gone down well with one reviewer Several chocolate fans have posted photographs of Maltesers Mini Reindeers Gingerbread Flavour on social media. It comes just days after shoppers spotted White Chocolate Maltesers as part of the meal deal options at Asda. The Mini Reindeers snack is on sale in Asda for £1.80. They are currently out of stock at Tesco and not yet listed at Aldi or Lidl. Another_snack_reviewer described the new pouches as "milk chocolate with a gingerbread flavour malt filling and honeycombed pieces". They added: "Yes, I realise this is a Christmas product and yes I realise it's only July. But I've always said if it's on the shelves then I'm gonna buy it! "I'm a big fan of the reindeer/bunny range (white chocolates are obviously the best) so I was super excited to see a new flavour!" Foodies race to Iceland to get their hands on a giant Maltesers bubble bar that's perfect for a Christmas dessert The review continued: "Unfortunately these didn't quite do it for me. "While the malty, honeycomb flavour was there and the texture was the usual creamy yet crunchy one which I love, the gingerbread just wasn't strong enough against the other elements. "It did come through more in the aftertaste but I still would have preferred it to be a tad punchier." This prompted several responses from other users. One wrote: "Shame as I was so excited for the gingerbread flavour of these" while another wrote: "OMG Christmas food reviews in July? I kid I kid! "If they're selling it, you've gotta review it. "Very sad to hear they aren't that tasty though. I'll stick to my favourite reindeer, the mint one." 'Add the ginger!' Another posted: "Aww nooooo I was so hoping these would be full on gingerbread." A fourth user said: "Just add more ginger, don't know if its a cost saving or worried people would find them too gingery but seriously, people who don't like ginger aren't gonna buy them so people who will buy them clearly like ginger. Add the ginger!" One user lamented: "The saddest news I've heard all week. "Was so looking forward to these as well!" Maltesers' new white chocolate snacks are available at major retailers — but sweet lovers will need to act fast before they sell out. Originally aimed at "dieting women", White Chocolate Maltesers were the white-chocolate version of Maltesers. The key difference between them and the original was that, instead of being covered in milk chocolate, they were covered in a delicious white chocolate coating. Maltesers are round balls of malted milk covered in chocolate. They were launched in 1937 after being created by American Forrest Mars Sr. Maltesers were first released in the UK and were originally aimed at "dieting women" as a "lighter" way to enjoy chocolate. They have since become popular across Europe and in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

King Charles' former gardener shares tribute to the late Queen within Balmoral gardens
Queen Elizabeth has a hidden tribute within Balmoral's new gardens - and it has a sweet nod to Scotland. King Charles former gardener has lifted the lid on the secret tribute the monarch paid to his late mother Queen Elizabeth within Balmoral's new gardens. It comes as they enter their final couple of weeks of being open to the public. King Charles and Queen Camilla will soon spend their summer in Scotland. The Balmoral estate, located in the Highlands, has been the Scottish residence of the royals since the 1800s and is where the Royal Family often spend the Christmas period. It was a beloved spot particularly by the late Queen Elizabeth, who passed away in 2022, and it's also a place King Charles spent much of his childhood. The grounds have been open to the public since last year but the castle gardens have been newly renovated with a Thistle maze, the Celtic maze garden, as well as a generous array of topiary, trees and shrubbery. And Jack Stooks, who worked as a senior gardener at Highgrove for King Charles for over two decades, reveals why the designs have such a personal touch. Speaking on behalf of Slingo, Jack Stooks reveals that The mazes feel like a reflection of Charles' childhood. He explained, "Mazes are very special to Charles as he used to love playing in the maze at Sandringham when he was young. His grandmother, the late Queen Mother, used to speak fondly about her memories of him in the maze and how much he loved the topiary. "It's likely Charles wanted to bring some of the nostalgia of his childhood back to the Balmoral gardens and make it a place of fun and excitement for future generations. Balmoral was also a very special residence for the Queen, so Charles will want others to enjoy a place that was so special for his mother. It's like a tribute to her." Jack explained that Charles is heavily involved with planning, especially as he has a passion for gardening 'Charles has an amazing work ethic and he's very hands on. I remember doing some topiary pieces for him in Scotland with two yew trees that resided in the vegetable garden. I did a drawing and suggested finishing the top with the Prince of Wales feathers. The drawing came back with a handwritten note from Charles that praised the design but suggested swapping the feathers for a cone. He takes the time to consider these things, and it helps that he has a love for gardening and greenery.' The gardens at Balmoral are a present for future generations, says Jack. 'Now Balmoral is open to the public, Charles wants to make the grounds as inviting as possible for everyone. He wants to make it a place that's exciting for future generations too. The grounds are quite bare as it's cold for much of the year, but the topiary in the mazes have an evergreen appeal. Plus, they've included thistle within the topiary as a proud nod to Scotland. Despite being English, Charles knows how important it is to pay tribute to Balmoral's rich history in the Highlands.'

I bought my own Build-A-Bear machine on Amazon – it cost less than one visit to the shop and you can make multiple toys
Plus, how to buy a bear for as little as £1 BEAR WITH I bought my own Build-A-Bear machine on Amazon – it cost less than one visit to the shop and you can make multiple toys Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MANY people have a fond memory of going to Build-A-Bear as a child to make a personalised teddy bear. However, one mum shared how she found an official home kit on Amazon which meant she could make multiple bears at home with her kids. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Kristin Miller bought a Build-A-Bear Workshop stuffing kit on Amazon Credit: TikTok/kristinniclemiller 3 She was able to make bears at home with her kids Credit: TikTok/kristinniclemiller Kristin Miller bought the Build-A-Bear Workshop Toy Stuffing Station on the online retailer, where it is currently listed for £39.84. In a clip on her @kristinnicolemiller_ account, she wrote: 'My favourite kids' find ever. 'This is my new go-to gift idea for kids!! Sooo cute yall.' This home stuffing station is a mini version of the real one at Build-A-Bear Workshop, giving kids the full experience of building their own bear—all from the comfort of home. It features an easy-to-use push-pump handle that fills your bear with fluff, while the secure nozzle keeps everything in place as your cuddly companion comes to life. After adding the sweet heart inside, your bear will be created and you can dress it in the outfit that comes with the pack. There is even a birth certificate to document the arrival of your furry friend. The kit comes with two unstuffed bears, ready to make into sweet cuddly toys for your child, however you can get additional bears to stuff for £12.91 from Amazon. The price of a classic Build-A-Bear varies depending on the size and type of toy, but a classic toy costs £25, meaning you'd typically have to fork out £50 for two. The at-home kit could save you some cash, and also be a great way to keep children entertained at home on special occasions. Brits urged to 'look in loft' as 5 popular 90s toys could make you serious money Many people were hugely impressed at the kit, with one saying: 'This is the best thing ever!!! I am going there tomorrow and definitely gonna pick this up for Christmas gift for my 2 girls!!!' Another added: 'I had this growing up and have been looking for it for my kids. THANK YOU!!!' And a third commented: 'Saving this and getting it for my niece this Christmas.' 3 Each kit comes with two unstuffed bears, but you can buy extra bears on Amazon Credit: Amazon PAY YOUR AGE Build-a-Bear's "pay your age" scheme means you pay your child's age for a bear on their birthday. You can grab the discount in your birthday month and for a bear that would normally cost £14, rather than on any toy which can cost up to £50. So if your child is turning seven, then you'll only need to pay £7 for the toy. The minimum payment is £1 though so if your baby is under one-year-old then you'll still have to fork out a quid. The Pay Your Age birthday month offer is available in stores only to Build-A-Bear Bonus Club members, but it's free to enrol.
