Two family shows can be seen at the University of Hertfordshire’s Weston Auditorium this weekend.

The Falcon’s Malteser, which is being performed at 1.30pm and 7.30pm tomorrow (21) at the theatre on the de Havilland Campus, Hatfield, is based on the Anthony Horowitz novel and follows the adventures of the hopelessly inept private detective Tim Diamond and his sharp-witted brother Nick.

It is suitable for children aged eight and upwards and tickets are £10 with concessions £8, available by calling 01707 281127 or online at www.ticketline.co.uk/venue/the-weston-auditorium#contact

At 3pm this Saturday and 11am and 2pm this Sunday, The Gruffalo is live on stage. It has been adapted by Tall Stories from the award-winning picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

Tickets are £11 with a family ticket for four £40.
