SUMMER fun for the family is coming to the stage in Colchester.

Full of slapstick comedy and sing-a-long songs, The Pirates of Dinosaur Island is a holiday treat for youngsters.

Aimed at three to 10-year-olds the show, which includes puppets, follows pirate Captain Clam and his crew as they follow a treasure map. Along the way they help a dinosaur find her lost baby.

The show takes place at Charter Hall on Saturday August 17 with performances at 1pm and 4pm.

Tickets cost £8 adults, £6.50 children, or £25 for a family (two adults and two children).
