The celebrated production of C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which was loved by audiences and critics alike during its recent West End run, will come to The Lowry (Salford) for Christmas 2025 as part of a major new tour of the UK & Ireland.

C.S. Lewis’ book was first published in October 1950. Since then, over 85 million copies in 60 languages have been sold. It is one of the top ten best-selling books of all time. The stage adaptation of Lewis’ iconic book enjoyed a hugely successful, critically-acclaimed London run in 2022/3.

Producer Chris Harper said: ‘We are proud to be marking the 75th anniversary of the publication of CS Lewis’ novel with this enchanting production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe – a production that wowed audiences when it played at the Lowry in 2021. It’s the perfect show for Christmas – and we are delighted to bring it back to Salford next year.’

The Lowry’s Steve Cowton, said: ‘We are so excited to be welcoming back this fabulous production, which is a brilliant piece of imaginative story-telling theatre – with a real heart – and the perfect family production for Christmas. The show’s previous visit in 2021 was impacted by the pandemic so we are delighted to be able to welcome it, and audiences back, for what we know will be a hugely successful run in 2025.’

Step through the wardrobe into the enchanted kingdom of Narnia. Join Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter as they wave goodbye to wartime Britain and embark on the most magical of adventures in a frozen, faraway land where they meet Mr Tumnus the faun, talking beavers, Aslan (the noble king of Narnia) and the coldest, most evil White Witch.
