This exhibition celebrates Judith Kerr's classic title The Tiger Who Came to Tea.
The exhibition consists of:

- 3 interpretation panels
- copies of the book
- bespoke dress up

The hire fee is £4,000 +VAT for a two month loan.
The exhibition enjoyed a great success on it's first tour of National Trust properties in 2018 - 20. A second tour of the exhibition began early 2021 and will continue to 13 further venues until 2023.
Visitors have been on social media praising the exhibition:
