A NEW production of the classic children’s story The Ugly Duckling will be staged at Tosside Community Hall on Monday.

The show, which is suitable for ages five and above, will be performed by the Northumberland Theatre Company and is a reworking of Hans Christian Andersen’s story, packed with lively songs, dance and visual treats.

The show forms part of Spot On Lancashire’s autumn season of rural touring, taking professional arts events to isolated rural communities across the area.

Spot On’s scheme manager Sue Robinson said: “This is a lovely little reworking of a classic children’s story and what a perfect way to keep warm and dry in December.”

The show starts at 3pm and tickets are available from 01729 840272.
