The nation’s favourite bear is taking to the stage at the Savoy Theatre this autumn, bringing Michael Bond’s beloved stories to life in a spectacular new production filled with heart, humour and plenty of mayhem.
A Bear From Peru Finds a New Home
When a small bear from Peru arrives at Paddington Station in search of a new home, he finds friendship and adventure with the Brown family of Windsor Gardens.

Event Details
The critically acclaimed OVO by Cirque du Soleil returns to the Royal Albert Hall in January 2026. An exhilarating experience for the whole family, the classic is back and better than ever!
Bursting with breathtaking acrobatics inspired by the abilities of creatures both real and imagined, this joyful spectacle transforms the everyday lives of insects into an epic celebration of biodiversity, transformation, and community.
In this colourful and vibrant ecosystem, crickets leap skyward, butterflies soar midair, ants juggle with precision, and spiders contort, bend and twist in defiance of gravity: each mind-blowing act showcasing the exceptional talent of the performers. At the heart of this kaleidoscopic journey, a playful love story unfolds when a quirky newcomer fly falls head over wings for a spirited ladybug. The mysterious egg he carries sparks curiosity and wonder among the colony, symbolizing cycles of change, renewal, and possibility.
Music as always is at the heart of the Cirque du Soliel experience and in OVO the story is driven by a rhythmically vibrant and emotionally uplifting Brazilian-inspired live score. With dazzling costumes, immersive staging, high-energy choreography, OVO fills audiences with a sense of wonder that speaks to the child in all of us.
