The Marlowe Theatre Presents PEPPA PIG'S BIG SPLASH This Weekend

PEPPA Pig comes to The Marlowe Theatre at Easter - with a new partner on board.

Stagecoach bus company has become the first sponsor of a family show at the venue. Any child who travels by bus to Peppa Pig's Big Splash will receive a complimentary goody bag, on production of a valid bus ticket.

Stagecoach Managing Director Philip Norwell said one of the aims of the partnership is to encourage more people to "go green and get the bus".

"We are always looking for ways to encourage people out of their cars to reduce congestion," he said. "We hope that families travelling to The Marlowe Theatre this Easter will take advantage of child bus tickets which start from as little 10p, free travel for under fives, and, of course, the free goody bag!"

Marlowe Theatre Director Mark Everett said: "We are excited to be working with Stagecoach and hope families will give the bus a go when they come to see Peppa Pig - a great day out with no parking worries."

Peppa Pig's Big Splash is at The Marlowe Theatre from today 18 to Sunday 20 April (various performance times). Tickets, priced from £13.50 (concessions available) are from the Box Office on 01227 787787, or at marlowetheatre.com.
