BEN & HOLLY’ S LITTLE KINGDOM // 27-29 JAN NOISY NOTES // 29 JAN
© Dan Tsantilis
“ Somewhere, hidden amongst the thorny brambles is a little kingdom where everyone is very very small …” From the makers of Peppa Pig comes this BAFTA award-winning television animation live on stage! Holly is a young fairy princess, who is still learning how to fly and her magic doesn’ t always go quite according to plan. Her best friend, Ben the elf, doesn’ t have wings and he doesn’ t do magic, but he runs very fast and flies on the back of Gaston the ladybird. They live in the Little Kingdom, a tiny land where flowers and grass rise high above them and every day is an adventure. Ben and Holly have fun and games helping Gaston the ladybird clean up his messy cave, they go on a trip into The Big World with tooth-fairy Nanny Plum, they even plan a surprise birthday party for King Thistle, and oops, let’ s hope there’ s not another jelly flood! Join Ben and Holly, and their friends on this exciting, enchanting and magical musical adventure packed full of games, songs and laughter. This beautiful story of elves, princesses and childhood innocence will delight all the family!
