When machines begin to gather at the edge of the woods, mysterious voices are heard and a metallic smell fills the air, the animals (Laura the ladybird, Jeffrey the spider, Brett the woodlouse and Willoughby the woodpecker) are worried.
Velda the Vixen knows Granddad is the only person who can save them but is there enough time to save the forest? This beautiful tale is told through enchanting puppeteering with an important environmental message woven into its very fabric.
‘Woodland Tales’ follows on from ‘Fireside Tales’ (cosy stories told around the campfire) and ‘Christmas Tales’ (a show featuring festive stories of gnomes and other woodland creatures), both of which have proved well loved production.
