CHILDREN of all ages are in for a treat when highly acclaimed Northern Ballet bring Tortoise and the Hare to the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham on Wednesday, February 10.

This is Northern Ballet’s first visit to Cheltenham.

Following the sell-out successes of Ugly Duckling, Three Little Pigs and Elves & the Shoemaker and TV adaptations for CBeebies, Northern Ballet bring their magic to Tortoise & the Hare.

Once upon a time there was a speedy Hare who never stopped talking about how fast he could run.

Tired of being teased for his slowness, Tortoise challenged him to a race.

No one thought he could win, but life is full of surprises.

Bringing this much-loved Aesop’s fable to life, Tortoise & the Hare is the perfect opportunity for younger children to enjoy live ballet, music and theatre.

These child friendly performances last approximately 40 minutes.
