It's one of the most traditional of stories.

An old woman bakes a gingerbread man only to find he takes on a life of his own.

On Saturday September 14, see Clydebuilt Puppet Theatre’s view of what happens next.

Catch The Gingerbread Man at the Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield .

It’s in the Syngenta Cellar and is part of the theatre’s popular Imagine series which offers regular family shows.

Here what you need to Imagine is a world built entirely of biscuits – everything from the trees to the stars in the sky.

But then along comes the Gingerbread Man who is on a journey through an ever-changing world from kitchen to fields to mountains and finally to the river, meeting a majestic cow, a stubborn goat and an opportunistic bird along the way.

Clydebuilt Puppet Theatre was part of last year’s Imagine series bringing its show Diving Belle to the LBT.

Formed in 1987, the company is one of Scotland’s leading puppet theatre companies.

It tours the UK and Europe and has taken its puppetry skills as far as the Middle East and China.

The show is suitable for children aged 3-8 years and runs for 45 minutes.

The show also gives children the chance to stay after the performance to ‘meet the puppets’.
