SKIPTON will next month host the heroic adventures of the infamous Mr Toad of Toad Hall.

Toad is visiting Skipton Little Theatre, near the town’s Tesco supermarket, from December to 2 to 6.

A spokesman for the theatre said: “Toad's captivating antics and those of his dear friends Ratty, Mole and Badger are bound to outwit the mischievous creatures of the Wild Wood.

“Mike Kenny's modern adaptation of this timeless classic is geared towards character, colour and lively storytelling.

“Those familiar with Kenneth Grahame's tale will recall that Mr Toad is good-natured and kind-hearted but also impulsive and conceited, as shown in his behaviour when he falls in and then out of love with various modes of transport.”

The show starts each evening at 7.30 pm and there will be an additional performance at 2pm on the Saturday. Call 07527 141176 to book tickets.
