James and the Giant Peach

September/October 2025

Based on the novel by Roald Dahl, James and the Giant Peach follows the story of James Henry Trotter, a young boy who is orphaned when his parents are eaten by a rhinoceros and is sent to live with his cruel aunts, Spiker and Sponge. He dreams of a life away from his miserable aunts when he one day encounters an Old Woman who offers James a packet of magical “crocodile tongues.”

This sparks James’ adventure, as the magic causes a peach, and other garden critters, to grow to an enormous size. Late at night, he ventures into the peach, where he meets some new friends, and together, they roll the peach off a cliff and sail it across the Atlantic Ocean, bound for New York City

Join James and his band of Insects on this magical journey. Fun for the whole family, witness the magic this September School Holidays!
