ALL the family will love seeing Noddy and his friends at The Anvil for some half-term fun.

Noddy and the Magical Day is on from Thursday, October 30, to Saturday, November 1.

It is Tessie Bear's birthday and Noddy has a present for her - a song he made up himself. But will that be enough? Mr Wobbly Man suggests that a cake would be a good idea, and Martha Monkey thinks flowers would be nice.

However, those naughty goblins, Sly and Gobbo, suggest jewellery - but everyone is careful as they know the goblins are always playing tricks on the residents of Toy Town.

Big Ears has a special gift, a magic seed that will grow into a friendship tree with musical branches and golden leaves.

Noddy offers to look after the seed - but he'll need some help keeping an eye on the goblins.

This exciting show is ideal for two to six-year-olds and there are lots of songs and plenty of audience participation to join in with.

The show on Thursday begins at 3.30pm, and the shows on Friday and Saturday are at 10.30am and 1.30pm.

Tickets for Noddy are priced at £8 for children and £10 for adults, with a family ticket (two adults and two children) costing £32.
