Family fun around Milton Keynes: Our guide

BEN & HOLLY’S LITTLE KINGDOM

From the makers of Peppa Pig comes this award-winning TV animation live on stage.

Holly is a young Fairy Princess who is still learning how to fly and her magic doesn’t always go quite according to plan. Her best friend, Ben the Elf, doesn’t have wings, but he runs very fast and flies on the back of Gaston the Ladybird. They live in the Little Kingdom, where flowers and grass rise high above them. Join Ben, Holly, and their friends in an enchanting and magical musical adventure.
