Autumn 2025!

From sleepy bedtime adventures to edge-of-your-seat theatre, we've got some gorgeous autumn treats lined up for you! SJT Circle members have priority booking from 10am, Wed 30 April, and the shows go on general sale from 10am, Wed 7 May.

Tickets are available online, by phoning the Box Office on 01723 370 541, or in person next time you're passing.

Counting Sheeps (26 and 27 Aug): Two sheep think they know everything about sleep. They’re experts in the field. But tonight, they’re wide awake. Snuggle up and join them on a journey through bedtime in this musical adventure from The Herd for 0-3-year-olds and their (very tired) grown-ups.

Kailey (23 Sept):  Who cares for you when your parent is in prison?  Set in Bradford, this comedy-drama follows 18-year-old Kailey Spence as she navigates life alone whilst her mum, Shaz, is caught in the prison system. Inspired by real life events, this comical and honest piece of new writing poignantly highlights the reality of society’s forgotten young people. 

Birdwatching (3 Nov): Directed by the SJT’s Associate Director Chantell Walker, Birdwatching is a folk horror about the female experience that doesn’t look away. Amelia, Poppy and Lauren are wild camping in the Northumberland forest. As the woods darken around them and tensions flare, a watchful presence takes hold over the camp. A perfect boiling pot of paranoia, superstition and adolescent insecurity ensues that hangs on a chilling question: who is watching who?

Flamenco Origenes (8 Nov): Lourdes Fernández and her Flamenco Company take audiences on an epic adventure spanning multiple continents and hundreds of years to discover more about the beautifully rich art we've come to know as flamenco.

Kevin Quantum: Unbelievable Magic for Non-Believers (18 Nov): Sceptical? Don’t believe in magic? Good, because Kevin Quantum is here to below your mind RIGHT open. Trained by Penn & Teller, expect big gasps and raw, unfiltered magic from a world-class showman.

Count Magnus – Two Ghost Stories by MR James (12 Dec): Christmas tales of terror from the master himself, MR James, told by atmospheric candlelight by Robert Lloyd Parry – this year, it’s Count Magnus and Number 13.

Hammonds Band (11 Jan '26): The annual visit from one of the country's premier brass bands.
