BABY fire dragon Dotty trots on to the stage of Harpenden Public Hall next Saturday, July 20.

She lives at the top of a mountain with her grumpy dad, Mr Dragon, and in the village below, everyone fears for their lives.

But Dotty has no intention of eating children and decides to surprise the villagers by making an unannounced visit.

Blunderbus is putting on the fairytale adventure which has a very happy ending. It combines a blend of live music, puppets and storytelling.

Aimed at children aged three to seven, there are two performances, one at 11am and the other at 2.30pm. Tickets are £8 with children £6, available from the box office on 01582 767525 or visit www.harpendenpublichalls.co.uk
