Stage: Dragons & Mice

Two Great Shows To Take The Kids To

A treat for your little ones is on the way when The Snow Dragon visits Worthing this festive season at the Connaught Theatre, Saturday 28 November.
Billy has everything a young goat could need – and more besides. On New Year’s Eve, Billy is looking forward to the annual visit of the legendary Snow Dragon, who will bring him even more goodies…
But when Billy bumps into some hungry wolves in the forest, New Year’s Day seems a long way off. How will Billy escape? And has he been naughty or nice? Toe-tapping songs and lots of laughs for everyone aged 3 and up.
