Northern Ballet makes its annual return to The Dukes with its popular show for children.

On this visit, the dancers bring the story of Tortoise & The Hare to life during three shows on April 9.

It’s a re-imagining of Aesop’s fable of a Tortoise who, tired of being teased for his slowness, challenges a speedy Hare to a race.

It has been created especially for children aged 3 plus and young families to experience and enjoy live dance, music and theatre.
