Telford Theatre on Tour in Partnership with Arts Alive

Tickets: Adult £8 / Child £6 / Family of Four (maximum two adults) £24

Show run time: 60 minutes

“A Noise Annoys” is a poetry show for all the senses! It features rhymes, noises, songs, surprises and lots of audience interaction. Bursting with joyful humour and witty wordplay, Jude takes the audience on a mind-bending journey through the sounds of language and the language of sounds. There is lots of joy, a healthy dose of nonsense, and a few heartfelt moments of beautiful hush.

Using poems, rhymes and tongue-twisters, with physical humour, improvised sounds and hilarious props, Jude finds the joy and annoyance in the things we hear. She asks questions like: Is it a noise that’s annoying, or the person making it? Do pingers ever ding? If you had a pet badger, what would you call it? This is a show that will engage children with the spoken and written word, and leave them full of joy at the possibilities of language.

‘Let me in little piggie it’s blowing a gale
Not by the hairs on my little pink tail’

A fresh and funny version of the classic story of the three little pigs set in Paris. A grumpy old wolf is a chef who wants some pigs’ tails for his soup. Will the little pigs
outwit the wolf and what kind of house will they build?

A funny, warm-hearted and interactive rustic tale to make you squeal with laughter, bristling with puppets, live music and lots of joining in.

One-hour session | For children aged 4+ | £12

Our popular Learn to Ride sessions are designed specifically for children aged 4+ who would like to learn how to independently ride a bike with pedals.

Children who attend our sessions gain skills and build confidence. We do this by lowering the seats and removing the pedals from the children’s bikes. This enables children to learn the skills with the reassurance of being able to put their feet on the ground if they lose their balance. This helps them to feel safe which builds their confidence. All sessions are held outdoors in a traffic free area.

This group session is for beginners who cannot currently ride a two wheeled bike unaided. Where possible we suggest children bring their own working bike and helmet. Should this not be possible or appropriate, bikes and helmets can be borrowed for the duration of the session at no extra cost. Children should bring a drink and wear weather appropriate clothing, such as a rain coat, and sunscreen if required.

The session will start will the removal of stabilisers and pedals to effectively turn the bikes into balance bikes. If possible please remove stabilisers and pedals in advance as this will speed up things at the beginning of the session. If you do manage to remove pedals please remember to bring these along to the session. If you can’t don’t worry as the instructors will have the tools to do this when you arrive. Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the start of your session.

All children learn at different rates and there is no guarantee that participation will result in children riding. As a rough guide we recommend children attend three Learn to Ride sessions.
