Even young children can get a first lesson on global warming through a theatre show.

The Journey Home tells of a polar bear leaving the Arctic as the ice melts and crossing busy shipping lanes and oceans to find a new home.

The story tells of his adventures and the other animals he encounters in his travels.

The Journey Home, by Little Angel Theatre, is for children aged three years and over.

It is based on the same-named children’s book by Frann Preston-Gannon and the stage show uses puppetry and music.

It is at the Quarterhouse at Tontine Street, Folkestone from 2.30pm on Saturday, May 30.

Tickets are £6 for adults, £5 for children and £20 for a family of two adults and two children.
