Just as
Zog is always trying to win a gold star by learning dragon skills such as flying, roaring, and fire-breathing, children will learn during a trail around the Kielder Castle woods about how animals fly, what sounds they make and how they catch prey.
The cast features Elliot MacKenzie as
Zog; Emily Benjamin as Princess Pearl; Robert Ginty as Sir Gadabout the Great; Euan Wilson as Madame Dragon; and Dixie McDevitt as Ensemble.
Zog promises to be a roaring success and fun for children of all ages.
