After their sell out performance of The Twits last year Illyria returns to the farm to perform Dick King-Smith's glorious, and most appropriate, classic.

Farmer Hogget wins a piglet at the fair - and everyone knows what unfortunate fate awaits piglets on a farm. Adopted by Fly the sheepdog, Babe develops his own methods of herding sheep using politeness instead of barking orders, and even saves the flock from being stolen by sheep rustlers.

But Farmer Hogget is a hard man to please. So when Babe is entered for the county sheep dog trials he is going to need Fly's help, all his wits, and as much politeness as he can muster if he is going to get the sheep to co-operate, win the trials, and save his bacon.

Gates open at 6pm and the performance starts at 6.30pm.

It is suitable for all ages 5-plus, the performance will take place either in the barn or outside, weather permitting, so bring blankets and whatever you need to be comfortable on straw bales or grass.

Tickets are £12 an adult, £7 child or £35 for two of each.  At present there are only 200 available.

Illyria's online ticketing system will soon be up and running but in the mean time email events@westtownfarm.co.uk to book your tickets or call 01392 811 257.
