Shows galore as the Alley Theatre hosts a kid’s day out

First up at 2pm, Eddy the Teddy and best friend Sammy Ragdoll decide that tomorrow will be just the day for a picnic. Sammy says she’ll have to organise everything herself because Eddy wouldn’t be able to, but Eddy pleads for a chance. Sammy agrees – fearing the worst – but will she be pleasantly surprised?

The show uses many elements of theatre, mime, puppetry and songs. It’s a perfect introduction to live entertainment for children who have never been to a show before, and a welcome return for Eddy the Teddy’s young fans. The age recommendation is 2-6 years old, but all are welcome.

Next up at 3.30pm is the exciting adaptation of one of the most famous books ever - Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland. It features all the popular Alice characters portrayed by a cast of two talented actors. One plays Alice and the other manically portrays everyone she meets.

The classic fairy-tale is brought to life using comedy, mime, puppets, music and audience participation. Also, expect brand-new catchy sing-along songs composed especially with children in mind. It’s a great weekend show suitable for 5-9 years old, but all are welcome.

Tickets for each show are £4 each with a family of four ticket at £12.
