BASED on the award-winning picture book by Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks, a stage version of What The Ladybird Heard will be at Theatre Royal Winchester next week.

Hefty Hugh and Lanky Len have a cunning plan to steal the farmer’s fine prize cow but they reckon without the tiniest, quietest creature of all: the ladybird has a plan of her own!

Young children will love the woolly sheep, the hairy hog, the fat red hen and the dainty dog in this new stage adaptation of the popular farmyard adventure which comes complete with live music, puppetry, plenty of audience participation and lots of laughs.

Tickets for What The Ladybird Heard, on Thursday and Friday, are available from 01962 840 440 or theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk.
