The magical double bill opens with Roald Dahl’s inspired re-telling of the story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf with Paul Patterson’s marvellous music bringing the characters to life.

Hugh Brunt will conduct the orchestra and the films will be introduced by Pui Fan Lee, known to millions of children for her work on CBeebies.
