Victoria Theatre and Victoria Concert Hall

Who says theatre is only for grown-ups? Kidsfest! 2026 returns with world-class theatre made just for little ones, running from 23 January to 22 February at the Victoria Theatre. The festival brings beloved children’s books to life, with this year’s line-up featuring five crowd-pleasers: There’s a Snake in My School, The Gruffalo’s Child, The Koala Who Could, The 91-Storey Treehouse and Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book. Each show runs for approximately 50 to 60 minutes with no interval, so parents may want to plan toilet breaks ahead for younger children. Tickets start from $42, with ongoing promotions including 15 per cent off Thursday and Friday performances, and 10 per cent off weekend shows.
