THE Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham is serving up some special half-term treats this month with two shows guaranteed to please the little ones.

The Sooty Show (direct from Citv) is on Sunday, February 15 at 11am and 2.30pm. Joining the nation’s favourite bear will be Sweep, Soo and Sooty's TV Partner Richard Cadell who will be attempting to keep Sooty from getting up to mischief!

It's Sooty's birthday party and things aren't going to plan. Sooty and Sweep get messy baking the birthday cake and will Soo ever decide which dress to wear? Special party guests include legendary Sooty favourites Butch the bulldog and Ramsbottom the snake.

The Oxford Playhouse present Bath Time from Wednesday 18 – Friday 20 February in the Studio. If you thought bath time was all about getting clean, you’d be wrong! Bath Time is for splashing, singing down the plughole, shouting up the taps and making bubble beards. This magical and perfectly silly show celebrates the games we all play in the bath – with storytelling, music, comedy and lots of chances to join in, come and meet Ernie the Duck and friends in this interactive treat for all the family.

Devised and directed by Toby Hulse and loved by audiences of all ages, this is the ideal first theatre show for children aged two to six, their families and anyone who has ever shared a bath. No towels required!
