Families in Durham, County Durham, can see the stage show Zog at the local theatre during the upcoming February half-term break. The Durham County Council and Gala Durham confirmed the production will run for three days from February 24 to February 26, 2026. This event is part of a wider effort to provide affordable activities for parents and children while schools are closed.
The live musical is based on a popular children’s book and features puppets and live music to tell the story of a dragon learning to fly. This specific tour celebrates the 15th anniversary of the book. The production is brought to the stage by Freckle Productions, a company that specialises in turning well-known stories into theatre shows.
Council officials say they are committed to offering high-quality entertainment that is easy for residents to access. By hosting popular shows like Zog, the local government aims to bring more people into the city centre to support nearby cafes and shops. This strategy helps the local economy during the typically quiet winter months.
Tickets for the three-day run are available through the theatre box office. The show is designed to be a fun experience for young children and is expected to attract many visitors to the Millennium Place venue.
