A roaring, soaring musical for brave little dragons everywhere!
Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s classic, feel-good story is brought to life in this delightful musical for children.
Zog is the keenest dragon in Madam Dragon’s school. He's also the most accident-prone, flying into trees, and even setting his own wing alight!

SAT 02 - SAT 16 MAY 2026 BANK OF DAVE THE MUSICAL“If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s this: everybody hates bankers.” Bank of Dave: The Musical is a home-grown, brand-new British musical - bursting with northern grit, laugh-out-loud humour and what Dave himself calls “the best songs in any musical ever.” This feel-good show tells the true-ish story of Dave Fishwick: Burnley born and bred, and no ordinary man. A self-made millionaire, Dave spent years helping local people and small businesses when hard-nosed banks turned them away. Frustrated by the system, he has an idea…set up his own bank and put the profits straight back into his community. From Sunday Times bestseller to Netflix’s #1 UK film, Dave’s inspiring underdog story now bursts onto the stage as a laugh-out-loud British musical packed with heart, humour and cracking new music. "The humour of The Full Monty with the spirit of Billy Elliot, but with a few more ba*tard bankers, and an unlikely hero from Burnley!" - Dave Fishwick BANK OF DAVE THE MUSICAL is produced by ROYO, Future Artists Entertainment, Curve and Lowry. Katie Lander is the consultant for Finestripe Productions. |

THU 12 - SAT 14 NOV 2026 WILKO: LOVE AND DEATH AND ROCK 'N' ROLLIn 2012, Wilko Johnson, the iconic rock star and founder of legendary Essex band Dr Feelgood, was told he had inoperable cancer and a year to live. Refusing all treatment, he decided to spend his last months living meaningfully: seeing the people, places and things which meant most to him during his remarkable life. Then, a miracle happened… A play with live music comes to Salford, direct from the Leicester Square Theatre in London’s West End and before that, from the Southwark Playhouse, following critical and audience acclaim in its initial run at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch in 2024. |
