BAFTA award-winning children’s show Sarah & Duck heads for Grantham stage

The enchanting world of the Karrot Animation and CBeebies’ hit animated series Sarah & Duck arrives on stage in Grantham next week.

Featuring a host of characters from the BAFTA Award-winning children’s TV show, Sarah & Duck’s Big Top Birthday plays at the Guildhall Arts Centre on Tuesday, August 1, as part of a new UK Tour celebrating 10 years of Sarah & Duck.

Join Sarah and Duck, along with all their favourite friends including The Ribbon Sisters, The Shallots, Flamingo and Umbrella, as they plan a circus-themed birthday party for Scarf Lady in their garden. But when the weather turns windy and the big top is blown away, will Sarah and Duck be able to save the day?

The tale is told through puppetry, storytelling and music, and features all the familiar voices from the CBeebies series including Roger Allam as the Narrator and Lesley Nicol as Scarf Lady.

Following the gentle adventures of a wide-eyed, seven-year-old girl and her feathered best friend, Sarah & Duck has been a huge hit since its debut in 2013, winning a BAFTA for ‘Best Pre-School Animation’ in 2014 and regularly appearing in CBeebies' Top Ten programmes. It now spans 120 episodes and is broadcast in over 100 countries around the world.

Tickets are available from the Guildhall box office here.

Performances take place at 1.30pm and 4pm. Tickets cost £14, concessions £12
