T1201355503All nursery rhyme characters love to party, perform and have fun! Some of the most famous faces from your favourite rhymes are coming together to present a spectacular nursery rhyme cabaret. Headed up by Nero (a cat who plays the fiddle) and Lazzo (a little dog who loves to laugh), the pair bring together their nursery rhyme friends to share their own special stories and skills. With special performances by Hickory Dickory's Flea Circus, the famous dare-devilled egg himself Humpty Dumpty, and Incy Wincy, whose many legs make her Tango something to behold, Hey Diddle Diddle is a fun-loving, music-filled adventure with your favourite characters as you've never seen them before! Hey Diddle Diddle features live music, puppetry, laughter, and lots of chances to join in. It lasts 45 minutes and every performance is relaxed, making it an ideal introduction to theatre for children age 6 and under and their grown-ups.Presented byKitchen Zoo. | |

T1507816813It's the annual Jumping Over The Moon contest in Rhyme Town - the secret place where nursery rhyme characters live when they're not busy with bedtime stories. The Cow has won the event for the past five years but this year little Miss Muffet is certain she's going to get the trophy with a trampoline made from Incy Wincy Spider's web. But Wee Willie Winkie is up to his old tricks. He's scared the two judges of the contest - The Dish and the Spoon - and they've run away! With nobody to judge the jump, the contest will have to be cancelled. The nursery's two delightful puppet characters, Jenny and Davey, come to life in order to help. They visit Old King Cole to borrow his Big Book Of Rhyme and set off to find The Dish and the Spoon. All ages especially the under fives.Company The Panto Company. | |
