What The Ladybird Heard At Christmas at Royal & Derngate

It’s Christmas time, and the clever little Ladybird is off on a festive adventure. As she visits her friends for the holidays, she soon discovers that familiar troublemakers Hefty Hugh and Lanky Len are hatching a new plan. This time, the dastardly duo are after the children’s Christmas presents, and they’re ready to cause chaos before morning!

Little do they know, the smallest creature will make the biggest difference. With quiet courage and a brilliant idea, the Ladybird steps in to outsmart their scheme – with a little help from her farmyard friends, of course!

This brand-new adaptation brings the world of the Ladybird books to life on stage, packed with catchy songs, festive sparkle and a dash of Christmas magic. From the team behind The Jolly Christmas Postman, this festive delight is perfect for little ones and their grown-ups.
