Scotney Castle Outdoor Theatre: The Big Bad Wolf

Come on a musical journey of plotting and scheming with folklore's most notorious villain - The Big Bad Wolf.

  • Booking essential

Living in exile in the Deep Dark Wood, he parties and plays rock music every night with his cronies, far away from the goody-goody townspeople of Fairytaleville. But whatever happened to Little Red Riding Hood? Did the Three Little Pigs go on to have a successful music career? And is the Wolf really as bad as he seems? Following the success of their 2024 production of ‘The Secret Garden’, The Plandits are back on the road with this brand-new show, bursting with live music, silliness and laughs for the whole family.
