Not Now Bernard

We’re developing a new show adaptation of the popular book Not Now Bernard by David McKee. 

As part of the show’s development, we’re running interactive workshops for families in Summer 2025 as well as working with local schools and nurseries. 

Stories, games & monsters!

We invite you and your child to join us for an exciting workshop exploring Not Now Bernard on 12th & 23rd July 2025 at Trinity Arts Centre, Bristol.

In these two 90 minute workshops, led by experienced performers and theatre professionals, you will help bring the book to life through fun, creative activities and imaginative games. The second session will include a short sharing of the future show.

We would love for you to join us for both workshops. If you can only make one, please do still come along!
Booking in advance required – limited spaces

For children ages 3+ and their adults.
