Families can join a tiny snail on her trip around the world when The Snail and the Whale comes to The Lowry in Salford from May 30 to June 3.
The Tall Stories musical production is inspired by the bestselling picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, published by Macmillan.
The visit to Salford coincides with the 15th anniversary of the publication which is also being marked with a special edition.
A tiny snail longs to see the world, so she hitches a lift on the tail of a humpback whale. Together they go on an amazing journey, experiencing sharks and penguins, icebergs and volcanoes. But when the whale gets beached, how will the tiny snail save him?
