A Town Called Christmas

12 performances between Sat 27 - Wed 31 Dec 2025, various times
Loading performances

Far away, beyond the snow, and nestled in a perfect nook you’ll find a town called Christmas…

Clementine dreams of a place where gingerbread houses glow under twinkling fairy-lights, and chocolate coins are currency. Where the streets are filled with snow-ball fights, and laughter hangs like baubles in the air! The happiest place on Earth. 

Or at least it used to be…

Buckle in for a rollercoaster of magic, music, and mayhem as our hero crash-lands in a crumbling town where only the long-forgotten fables, a cantankerous caretaker and a glitching robot remain! Can they save the day, and the town called  Christmas? 

A brand-new show for adventurers aged 3–8 and their grown-ups. 

ACCESSIBILITY:

All performances will be chilled and will include integrated captioning
