Staffordshire Libraries are hosting Footy Fairy Tales, a new family show combining fairy tales with football, touring eight locations across the county from 10-19 August. The performance features reimagined characters including striker Cindy-Ella and Little Red Riding Hoodie, with live music and songs throughout the one-hour show. Stafford families can catch performances at 10:30am and 2:30pm slots at their local library.
The tour is part of the National Year of Reading and the Summer Reading Challenge, designed to encourage children and families to enjoy stories during the school holidays. The show's plot sees audiences help defeat a grumpy troll who declares "No Ball Games Allowed" while meeting characters facing real challenges on their journeys. This creative blend of classic tales and football fever offers a fresh take on traditional stories for young readers in Stafford and across Staffordshire.
Ticket prices are kept affordable to ensure families across Stafford can access the entertainment. The first child's ticket costs just £3, with sibling tickets at 50p each, and adults attending free of charge. This pricing makes the summer library tour accessible for households looking for school holiday activities in Stafford.
Parents and carers interested in booking Footy Fairy Tales should contact their local Stafford library directly to secure their spots. With shows running across eight Staffordshire locations, families are encouraged to book early to avoid missing out on this summer's entertainment.
