Babe, the Sheep-Pig

A Play by David Wood
Based on the book by Dick King-Smith

When Babe arrives at Hogget’s Farm he is taken in by the trusty sheep-dog Fly and discovers a talent for herding. With the help of his adopted Mum, our polite piglet soon wins over the most suspicious of sheep. But can a small pig make it in a dog’s world and when his farmyard friends are in trouble can Babe save the day?

This classic children’s novel, which won huge acclaim as an Oscar Award-winning film, comes to the stage with plenty of thrills, laughter, stunning puppetry and original music.

Join us for an enchanting winter warmer as we follow the incredible story of one piglet’s rise to become the world famous sheep-pig.
