Christmas Tales

We’re back with another fun-filled, family festive extravaganza!

Christmas Tales is back this year with a magical adventure that takes you around the world, into outer space, and back again – all to make sure the Christmas tree is ready in time for the big day. Santa has ordered a brand-new magic tree to match the sparkle of the Christmas decorations. But something’s gone wrong - instead of taking the usual route, the reindeer made a wrong turn and now everything's in the wrong place!

Things are mixed up in the most unexpected ways… just like home at Christmas!

So why not join the Tales team and step into a world of wonder, laughter and festive fun? With dancing, music, rhymes, stories, puppets, and more, you can help put Christmas back on track and make the season truly magical!

Tales from the Shed are vibrant, inclusive theatre shows that are perfect for young children. They are informal, lively and amazingly engaging as the performers and audience share the same space.
