Seedlings aged 3-10 are invited to pull The Enormous Turnip out of the ground before it takes over our theatre on September 29.

This re-potted version of the famous children’s story kicks off our new family theatre season with two performances at 1.30pm and 4pm and a chance to meet the characters and puppets after the shows.

Following sell-out performances last year, Stuff and Nonsense Theatre Company bring their energy, live music and eccentric puppetry to Lancaster to tell the story of Mr and Mrs Chickweed’s prize-winning vegetables which just keep on growing.

For tickets priced £10, ring our box office on 01524 598500 or visit www.dukes-lancaster.org

Our other family shows this season are The Astonishing Vacuum Cleaner Adventure on October 13 and 17 and Peter Pan from November 23-January 5.
