AN ACCLAIMED production of Dotty the Dragon is flying into Hartlebury Castle.

Blunderbus theatre will hold their family theatre production of the show on Thursday, August 25, from 3.30pm, with songs and puppetry helping to tell the tale of Dotty.

Dotty, who lives in the castle with her grumpy dad Mr Dragon, loves to watch the children playing in the village below and wishes she could play with them too.

She heads off on an adventure to fly down to the village, where audiences will discover if she makes new friends or if the village folk chase her back home again.

Claire Whitbread, Projects and Partnership Officer, said: "This is such a wonderful performance for young families to engage in the magic of live theatre and storytelling.

"It's a really fun and laid back performance that will really entertain young and old alike, and what better place to meet Dotty the Dragon than a castle!"

Viewers can pack a picnic and get ready to follow the adventures of Dotty the baby Fire Dragon as she goes on a journey to make new friends.

Tickets are prices at £8.50 for adults and £7.50 for children, with a family saver ticket of £30 for up to four people. The performance is suitable for children aged three and older.
