In this new stage adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks’ colourful farmyard adventure, What The Ladybird Heard, the story of the robbers, the cow, the ladybird, the woolly sheep, the hairy hog, the fat red hen and the dainty dog is told with live music, puppetry, plenty of audience participation and loads of laughs.

Two crafty robbers, 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, who has a plan of her own.

What The Ladybird Heard will be performed at 1.30pm and 4.30pm on March 4 and 10.30am and 1.30pm on March 5. Tickets cost £12 on 0844 871 3024 or at atgtickets.com/york
