Hey diddle diddle

Tue, 9th Apr 1:00PM | 3:30PM

There's an air of excitement in Rhyme Town – the secret place where nursery rhyme characters live when they’re not busy with bedtime stories.

It's the annual Jumping Over The Moon contest; an event which The Cow has won for the past five years. However, this year, Little Miss Muffet has made a trampoline from Incy Wincy Spider’s web, and she’s certain she’s going to get the trophy.

But Wee Willie Winkie is up to his old tricks. He’s scared the two judges of the contest – The Dish and The Spoon – and they’ve run away! Without anyone to judge the jump, the contest will have to be cancelled.

The problem is so important that the nursery’s two delightful puppet characters, Jenny and Davey, come to life in order to help. They visit Old King Cole to borrow his Big Book Of Rhyme (although he makes them play a game of Hide & Seek first), and set off around Rhyme Town to find The Dish and The Spoon.

Hey Diddle Diddle is a magical show of songs, laughter and audience participation – ideal for children of all ages!
