Winnie the Pooh is at Birmingham Hippodrome until Sunday, June 18

Winnie the Pooh and all of his friends have taken to the Birmingham Hippodrome stage this weekend.

So we headed to the city with our two-year-old for a wonderful display of charm, excellent puppetry and laughter.

It's one hour and five minutes with no break, which is perfect for the wriggling toddler. Surprisingly to us, a lot of the audience were adults without children, but then the magic of Pooh and friends have stood the test of almost 100 years. It did bring back a wave of wonderful childhood memories.

The Hundred Acre Wood is beautifully portrayed as the audience takes a journey with Pooh through the seasons along with Christopher Robin and their best friends Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, Rabbit, and Owl (oh… and don’t forget Tigger too!).
