Once Upon A Christmas - 2019 Tour

Our new Christmas show, touring 15 venues in November and December 2019, is an interactive and multi-sensory performance for children aged 2-8 years and their families.

Sat by the festive fireside, a merry elderly couple, with help from some cheeky elves and The Gingerbread Man, share their memories and stories and, with scents of Christmas spices triggering the senses, they invite the audience to help make paper chain decorations whilst singing along to familiar old songs. But how do this jolly old couple know so much about the most wonderful time of the year?

This will be a special family time for sharing festive joy and nostalgia together. Ticket prices vary so please contact the venue for information.

Review

"Thank you so much for a truly magical experience at Once Upon a Christmas. My boys aged 3 & 5 were utterly captivated. My 3 yr old, who is usually very anxious and clingy, was actually singing along loudest of all and throughout the show gradually shifted off my lap and shuffled to the front. You struck the perfect note so that everyone felt included without being overwhelmed. My 5 yr old looked awestruck from the moment the elves appeared and you were so kind to chatter away with him after the show. A fan for life. Can't wait for your next show, come back soon!!" (Anna Kate Sands, Exmouth)
