They're BACK!

After receiving over 3000 5-star reviews for their events and selling out hundreds of shows around the UK. The award winning, Teach Rex team are delighted to be bringing this unique, interactive show back to the families of Congleton after performing 45 shows at the Natural History Museum!
Teach Rex uses life-like dinosaurs to perform their 1 hour show, teaching children about the anatomy and life of one the most mesmerising creatures that have ever roamed our planet. The show is teamed with effects, music and gives children and their families the chance to get up close and personal with these fantastic, realistic beasts.
Children will be greeted by baby dinosaurs and given a ‘Dino Booklet’ which includes a variety of educational activities. You will also be provided with coloured crayons, all that is included in the price of a ticket, in this educational experience delivered by teachers.
This new show will delve into the jaws of one of the most iconic dinosaurs to ever roam the world, the TREX. Delivered by primary school teachers, the team will take the audience on an interactive, prehistoric journey, pinpointing misconceptions surrounding this beast!
The show is suitable for children of all ages (3+ recommended) and has even proven to be extremely popular with adults. The educational part of the show runs for approximately 1 hour followed by a dinosaur meet and greet when families can get photographs next to the beasts whilst enjoying a dance.

3 shows at 10am, 12:30pm and 3pm approx 60 minute show followed by a "meet and greet" with the dinosaurs.

The planned 12:30 performance has been cancelled. If you have tickets, please contact us to move them to a different time.

Told through raw interviews and electrifying flashbacks, AfterGlow: One More Night pulls back the curtain on an iconic band that defined a decade… and almost destroyed themselves in the process.

Set against the pulse of a buzzing rock scene, this documentary-style concert unravels a tangled, messy story told by the fans, agents, band members and journalists who lived through it.

From smoky dive bars to sold-out arenas, AfterGlow is a story of fame, love, betrayal, and the impossible price of wanting to be remembered.

Featuring songs from Hamilton, Wicked, Rock of Ages, Hadestown and more.

Hidden away in a secret annexe in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam, thirteen-year-old Anne Frank records her thoughts, fears and dreams as she and seven others live in constant fear of discovery. Alongside her parents, Otto and Edith, her sister Margot, the Van Daan family, young Peter Van Daan and Mr Dussel, Anne navigates the challenges of life in hiding.

Through Anne's remarkable diary, we witness the tensions, friendships and the moments of hope that emerge within the confined space, as each person struggles to maintain their humanity in the face of unimaginable uncertainty. Honest, moving and often surprisingly funny, Anne's story captures the resilience of the human spirit in the darkest of times.

A powerful and unforgettable true story, The Diary of Anne Frank continues to inspire audiences around the world with its message of courage, hope and humanity.

Presented by Congleton Musical Theatre


Come From Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.

7,000 Stranded Passengers. One Small Town. A Remarkable True Story.

Winner of four Olivier Awards including Best New Musical in London and a Tony Award on Broadway, this smash hit show now arrives in Congleton in a brand new production which is set to share the incredible real-life story of the 7,000 air passengers from all over the world who were grounded in Canada during the wake of 9/11, and the small Newfoundland community that invited these ‘come from aways’ into their lives with open hearts.

With an electrifying score and a cast of characters who will leave you cheering, “Come From Away” is more than just a musical—it’s a celebration of humanity, resilience, and the power of community. Step into a world where kindness conquers all, brought to life with invigorating music and stories that will make you laugh, cry, and believe in the goodness of people.

Age guidance: 10+. This production contains swearing, themes of violence and terrorism.
