The North Yorkshire theatre wants the woollen confections to use during 54 performances of The Wizard of Oz.

It's not the first time hundreds of knitted objects have been incorporated into the show, often as ‘missiles’ to be hurled by the audience.

The crafty tradition first started in 2011 when over 1,000 bananas were knitted for The Adventures of Sinbad; the following year nearly 3,000 white snowball pompoms were amassed for Babes in the Wood.

Around 2,500 leaves were knitted to construct a huge decorative beanstalk for Jack and the Beanstalk and last year over 2,000 apples made their way onto the set of Snow White.

How the doughnuts will actually be used in this year's show is top secret.

Apparently finished doughnuts can be handed in at the Box Office.

This morning it's been revealed there's been a dramatic rise in the number of vehicles being stolen in West Yorkshire.
