Immersive Peter Rabbit experience to run in London’s Covent Garden this Easter

An immersive Peter Rabbit show is to run in the heart of London’s iconic Covent Garden Piazza this Easter.

The Peter Rabbit Easter Adventure runs 21 March – 16 April 2023 with a captivating mix of live performance and puppetry.

A teaser shares: “Visitors will be transported back to a Covent Garden of old, teeming with fresh flowers, fruit and vegetables as Beatrix Potter heads out on a mission to rescue Jemima Puddle-Duck from the clutches of Mr. McGregor.

“During this brand-new 50-minute interactive outdoor adventure, families will experience Peter Rabbit’s adventures in person as they accompany Beatrix Potter to search for secret notes, maps, and other clues and meet Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, and a few surprise encounters along the way.”

The show will be adapted by Calum Finlay, directed by Barney McElholm and designed by Tina Torbey.

Alongside the experience, The Easter Adventure Shop will open in Covent Garden’s iconic Market Building on 5th March. The new store will offer Peter Rabbit merchandise, a café to relax and refuel, serving a range of delicious refreshments and drinks, as well as an activity area featuring a programme of fun-filled Easter activities for all of the family. Tickets for the show will also be available in store.

Adam McKenzie Wylie, Founder at producers Histrionic Productions said: “After a hugely successful inaugural outing at Blenheim Palace last summer for The Peter Rabbit Garden Adventure, Histrionic Productions is delighted to be staging The Peter Rabbit Easter Adventure at Covent Garden this Easter holiday.

“The combination of Peter Rabbit, the inspirational surroundings of London’s original fruit & veg market and Eastertime is perfect theatrical-alchemy for an all-new, urban, family, immersive experience for 2023 and we are delighted to once again be working with our friends at Penguin Ventures to bring this family-favourite to life in the heart of old London.”
