Calling all brave heroes! Enter into a magical world of myths and legends this June with the award-winning family show Dragons and Mythical Beasts. Direct from a major tour of the USA, Dragons and Mythical Beasts will be landing in Taunton from 23-25 June 2023.

Come face to face with some of the most fantastical creatures and terrifying beasts ever to walk the earth.

Take your place among legendary heroes, just don’t wake the Dragon…
