Have you ever wondered what happens when football and your favourite fairy tales collide?
With live music, super songs and fabulous characters, this engaging storytelling show combines the excitement of the football stadium with the magic of a good story, to prove once and for all that the beautiful game has something for everyone.
Watch a talented striker ‘Cindy-Ella’ chase the ball and find her spark, help Little Red Riding Hoodie stick to the right path and defeat a terrible troll who says ‘No Ball Games Allowed!’
This delightful performance will have football fanatics, non-players and the whole family cheering from the stands.
Perfect for children aged 5-11 and their families.
Touring Spring and Summer 2026.
