Much loved by children and families, Coming to England tells Floella’s own story of emigrating to England as a child.

Aged just 10, she and her siblings left Trinidad and sailed alone to join their parents. But her excitement for her new life in England is short-lived, with her family subjected to racism and intolerance in 1960s’ London.

Guided by her mother, and working twice as hard as her classmates, learn how a young Floella overcame adversity and grew to become Baroness Benjamin of Beckenham.

Adapted for the stage by David Wood (“the national children’s dramatist” – The Times) don’t miss the chance to relive this vibrant and energetic musical which was loved by audiences in 2022.
