Little Red Riding Hood

A little kindness goes a long way in this playful retelling of Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Red Riding Hood is a kind little girl who loves her family. On the way to visit her grandmother, she meets a very hungry wolf in the woods – but is he really as ‘big and bad’ as the stories say? Join Little Red on an enchanting adventure as she discovers the importance of kindness, makes some unexpected friends, and learns that things aren’t always as they seem.

A reimagining of the much-loved fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood is the perfect opportunity for your little ones to enjoy the magic of live ballet, music, and theatre.

With sell-out performances and a series of hugely successful CBeebies TV adaptations, Northern Ballet’s productions for children continue to delight audiences year after year.
