BOOK NOW FOR…
If you’re looking for a special Christmas treat for all the family, book now for the Royal Shakespeare Company’s musical production of David Walliams’ heart- warming comedy, The Boy in the Dress. Star football
striker, 12-year-old Dennis is trying to cope after his mum leaves home and discovers that he’s
rather partial to wearing a dress...But what do you do if you like both football and dresses? Walliams’
2008 bestseller is brought to the stage for the fi rst time in a musical with all new songs from Robbie Williams
and Guy Chambers, script by former RSC playwright in residence Mark Ravenhill and directed by RSC artistic director Gregory Doran. “Ultimately, I wanted to write a story that encouraged people to recognise that difference can be celebrated, that it’s ok to be yourself,” explained Walliams.
• Coming to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon from 8th November-8th March 2020. Visit

TYING TIMES! Did you know that three in 10 children are still unable to tie their shoelaces on leaving primary school, according to fi ndings from a survey by podiatry organisation, OSGO. Of the 500 surveyed, 46% of parents thought that being able to tie your own laces was an important life skill and yet 62% of them admitted to tying their children’s laces for them, to save time and stress every morning. As well as time constraints, 57% of those questioned said that their children also had no interest in tying their shoelaces and were not bothered about learning how to do so. If your child is struggling with traditional
laces, Hickie’s range of rubberised “no tie laces” instantly transform regular shoes or trainers into slip-ons. With plenty of colours to choose from, one size fi ts all and each pack contains 14 straps, enough for one
standard pair of shoes. • Visit
