Amazing Animals at Lyric

Amazing Animals is the show for anyone who loves animals but doesn’t fancy sitting through a nature documentary. Every favourite creature bursts onto the stage through puppetry, animatronics and clever special effects, so families get to meet elephants, tigers and more without a single live animal in the building.

Billed as the UK’s leading animal show with no live animals, it’s packed with music, comedy and heart, and works for all ages. The show follows in the footsteps of animal heroes like David Attenborough and Steve Irwin, mixing laughter with a bit of learning about the natural world. Expect singing, clapping and plenty of giggles from start to finish, whatever age your little ones are. It’s a great pick for a family day out during the school summer holidays.

About the Venue

The Lyric Theatre is a traditional art-deco venue on King Street in the centre of Carmarthen, seating 593. It’s an easy walk from car parks, the bus and train stations, with a ground floor kiosk, first-floor bar and accessible toilets on both levels.

Pricing & Booking

Tickets cost £17 full price and £15 concession. Families with a child aged 18 months or younger can bring them along for free with a lapseat ticket, though lap seats are only available in the stalls at full price. Book through the Lyric Theatre box office or online, and it’s worth booking early as family shows like this tend to sell well over the summer holidays. St Peters car park is just a minute’s walk away if you’re driving in, making it easy to get to from across Carmarthenshire and beyond.
