The The Detective Dog stage adaptation, based on the popular book by Julia Donaldson and Sara Ogilvie, is coming to Coventry this spring as part of its 10th-anniversary UK tour.
Produced by Tiny & Tall Productions, this show is specifically designed to be inclusive for both D/deaf and hearing audiences:
In partnership with Coventry Libraries and Information Service, a special "clue hunt" trail is being held in the Children's Library. You can pick up a trail sheet to solve mysteries for a chance to win a family ticket to the show; please note this competition closes on Wednesday 25th March.
For further details and to secure your seats, visit the Belgrade Theatre website.
