About

Mr. Grumpy the Gardener is a litter bug! When he is finished with his sandwich bag and coffee cup he just throws it on the ground! Mr Grumpy also doesn’t like bees. He doesn’t like them buzzing or flying round his head, and he’s always worried they will sting him. But Beatrice the Very Busy Bumblebee wants to whizz from flower to flower, collect nectar and make lovely sweet honey, and she certainly doesn’t want rubbish messing up her lovely garden. Can Beatrice teach Mr. Grumpy to tidy up and just how important she is for the garden and for the whole world?

With themes of friendship and sustainability, this sweet, funny show is the perfect introduction to live ballet and helps children understand just how important looking after our planet really is.

With larger than life characters, crystal clear storytelling and fabulous dancing, the Let's All Dance Ballet Company creates beautifully engaging shows for young and family audiences.

Running Time: 35 minutes + Photo Opportunity
