PARENTS are being encouraged to get their hands on tickets to see a piece of family theatre.

There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly will be shown at the Rheged Centre next Monday and Tuesday.

From the creators of Don’t Dribble on the Dragon, The People’s Theatre Company says the show has been written “for grown ups to enjoy with their children”.

Shows will take place at 2.30pm on both days, as well as 11.30am on Tuesday.

Tickets are priced at £10 for adults, £8 for a child and £32 for a family (two adults and two children).
