MASKERS Studio Theatre opens its doors tomorrow to three to seven year olds (and their mums and dads) to enter into a magical theatrical storytime.

Be transported to a forest full of wild animals, go on an exciting story adventure or hear an old favourite like Paddington Bear.

Each week will bring a variety of entertainment from toe tapping songs and rhymes to crafts and interactive stories.

Maskers Studio theatre is the hidden gem of Shirley – tucked away just off Shirley High Street (behind Specsavers). The red balloons will lead the way.

Little ones are sure to love the songs and stories told by the Maskers actors. tickets are just £3 per adult and will include tea or coffee and a soft drink for the children.

No booking needed, but as numbers are limited it is best to arrive at 10.15am. There is limited space for pushchairs and the studio is upstairs with a chair lift for the use of adults only. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Maskers Storytime will run on the last Saturday of every month until June 30. The show lasts approximately one hour.
