THERE will be plenty of time for tubby custard when The Teletubbies come out to play this summer.

Youngsters and their families are invited to join Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, Po and their friends at Darlington’s Hippodrome in June.

The much-loved television characters will take to the stage as part of their first theatre show tour on Saturday, June 9 and Sunday, June 10.

The performance aims to immerse visitors to the recently refurbished theatre into “the magical world of Teletubbyland” while capturing the imagination of children and encouraging them to explore the world around them.

Tickets range from £10 to £22 and can be booked by calling 01325 405405 or visiting darlingtonhippodrome.co.uk.
