It’s history but with all of the really nasty bits left in and the show’s writer and director said the production values for the audience should be amazing.

Neal Foster said: “I had a hugely exciting time bringing the Groovy Greeks to life in Horrible Histories style and loved shining the spotlight on Celtic, Roman, Saxon and Viking life in Incredible Invaders.

“Both shows feature special amazing 3D effects that provide a spectacular way for both children and adults to enter these extraordinary historical periods.”

Tickets for the show are available at a cost of £18 and performances and the shows vary daily.
