The hugely popular Ben &Holly’s Little Kingdom theatre production takes to the road again for a second
UK & Ireland tour this year. A BAFTA
award-winning TV animation, Ben & Holly’s
Little Kingdom comes from the makers of Peppa Pig and was
produced for the stage by top children’s theatre producers Fiery Light
Productions whose growing stable of work - which includes the stage adaptions
of Peppa Pig and Octonauts - has now been seen by millions of
children across the UK over recent years.
This stage version toured 2012 - 2013 and now returns for a 45-theatre engagement, opening at The Orchard Theatre, Dartford on 26 March. Press are invited to see the show from Friday 27 March at 4 pm.

Currently a top favourite show
for pre-schoolers, this charmingly magical animation airs on Nick Jr and on 5’s Milkshake.
Ben
and Holly’s Little Kingdom is co-owned by
animation studio Astley Baker Davies (creators of Peppa Pig) and has
been a hit with audiences and critics alike. The series won a BAFTA award for
Best Pre-School Animation in 2009 and a British Animation Award for Best
Pre-School Series in 2012.
The Little Kingdom – where everyone
is very, very small – is
home to Princess Holly and her best friend Ben Elf. Holly is a young fairy
princess who is still learning how to do magic properly and sometimes her
spells don’t work out quite right. Ben is an Elf. Elves don’t
do magic but they are very good at making things. Ben doesn’t
have wings like Holly but he flies on the back of Gaston the Ladybird.
In this exciting new musical
adventure, Ben and Holly have fun and games helping Gaston clean up his messy
cave; they go on a trip to The Big World with tooth-fairy Nanny Plum; and still
have time to plan a surprise for King Elf’s birthday
party, complete with an unplanned jelly flood.
Packed full of games, songs and
laughter, this is an enchanting and magical visit to the Little Kingdom, live
on stage for the very first time. This beautiful story of elves, princesses and
childhood innocence will delight all the family.
Richard Lewis, who has adapted
the TV animation for the stage and also directs, said, “We knew from the early
screenings of Ben & Holly’s Little Kingdom that the TV animation was
destined to become a children’s classic and would translate well to the stage.
The magical world of the Little Kingdom is a safe place for young children to
learn about family values, respect, loyalty and most importantly how to have
fun.
We’re
delighted that following the very successful first tour of the stage show we
can respond to demand and bring it back to UK and Ireland audiences for a
second time. We hope that once again it will be a magical experience for all
Ben & Holly fans, both young and old”.
Director and adaptor Richard Lewis also adapted and directed the three highly popular Peppa Pig theatre
tours (Peppa Pig’s Party 2009
– 2011; Peppa Pig’s Treasure Hunt 2011 – 2012; and Peppa
Pig’s Big Splash 2013 - 2105) and the current tour of Octonauts and the Deep
Sea Volcano Adventure 2014 - 2015.
