Play Trailer
Toys come to life through the magic of storytelling, music, and dance, creating a captivating show for the whole family.
Inspired by Margery Williams book.
To celebrate balletLORENT’s 30th year they bring a new heartwarming show The Velveteen Rabbit, retold for family audiences in the inimitable balletLORENT style.
In this entertaining dance theatre treat, a stuffed rabbit and a grown-up boy both wonder about the reality of getting older, and question what it means to be loved, and discover what it might take to be real.
When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real
The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams
Supported using public funding by Arts Council England.

Image description: A child dressed in a white top and dark shorts is whispering into the oversized ear of a rabbit puppet. The face and ears of the rabbit take up the central area of the image. Behind is a horse puppet head and a circus tent in yellow and red stripes. The image is quite dark and feels secretive.
Relaxed Performances
A Relaxed Performance is a less formal theatre experience for anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a show. They support noise and movement within the auditorium during a show, re-entry when needed so house lights are left on throughout, and a separate chill-out space for anyone who might need it at any time during their visit. We also provide a Visual Story so people can familiarise themselves with the theatre and key details about the show in advance.Play trailer
