CHILDREN'S favourite Enid Blyton's Noddy will be returning by popular demand to the Empire Theatre for a matinee performance on February 3.

Eternal children's favourite Noddy will be appearing with his best friend Big Ears, in an adventure that sees him finding a treasure chest filled with mementos that remind him of his favourite friends in Toy Town.

The audience will be captivated as Noddy takes us back to the time that Big Ears became a policeman and when Tubby the Bear was given his drum.

Packed with audience participation 'Noddy and the Treasure Chest' is an all-new show that is suitable for children aged two to six. Noddy and Big Ears are joined on stage by many of their other friends including Tubby Bear and Martha the Monkey, all singing lively songs that will entertain every child.
