See flying, fire-breathing dragons come to life!

This live arena spectacular is inspired by the phenomenally successful 2010 DreamWorks Animation film How To Train Your Dragon. Prepare yourself for a one-of-a-kind, live theatrical event that promises to break every rule of traditional arena entertainment. In this state-of-the-art production, fire-breathing dragons will soar overhead, immersing audiences in a magical and mythical world of Vikings and Dragons. How To Train Your Dragon Arena Spectacular will feature unrivalled production values, projections, flying, stunts, circus performers, fire and pyrotechnics, along with 24 bold and colourful dragons – the likes of which have never been seen before on stage.

The story of How to Train Your Dragon rolls fire-breathing action, epic adventure and laughs into a captivating and original story that is set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, and based on the book by Cressida Cowell. It centres on Hiccup, a Viking teenager who doesn’t fit in with his tribe’s longstanding tradition of heroic dragon slayers. Hiccup’s world is turned upside down when he encounters a dragon that challenges him and his fellow Vikings to see the world from an entirely different point of view.
