THE Sooty Show is coming to St David’s Hall this Easter for two fun filled showings.

Everyone’s beloved bear is now a national treasure having entertained millions of children for nearly seven decades.

In his brand new show you can expect even more jokes and japes to guarantee giggles for adults and children alike.

Joining Sooty is the lovable duo of Soo and Sweep, plus Butch the Bulldog and Ramsbottom the Snake.

Also sharing the stage will be Sooty’s friend and familiar face on CITV Richard Cadell, who will have his hands full keeping them all out of trouble.

Sooty was originally devised by Harry Corbett, who bought the puppet as a present for his son Matthew from a stall when he was on holiday in Blackpool in 1948.

Since then the show has blossomed under various guises to earning its place in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest running children’s programme in the UK!

The cast of cute characters have been proud family tradition for father and son, who presented the show for nearly 50 years before co-star Richard Cadell became Sooty’s sidekick following Matthew Corbett’s retirement in 1998.

So join Sooty and friends on Thursday, April 2, either at 11am or 2.30pm.

Tickets cost £14 for adults and £12 for children. Family tickets for two adults and two children are available at £42 and all bookings are subject to an additional £2.95 ticket service charge per transaction.
