What you need to know


As Christmas Day approaches, things are moving at a quick pace at the North Pole as gifts are wrapped, packed and stacked on the sled. Some plucky elves think they've discovered a way to increase time-efficiency and have installed the Super Neat Occasion Wrapper or S.N.O.W for short. A fantastic fantangled gift-wrapping machine that should cut the time it takes our elves to wrap all the gifts by at least half, until it all goes wrong of course!

In this year's panto-style performance, follow Mother Christmas as she tries to undo the muddle that S.N.O.W has caused, with the help of one very special man in a red suit. Will the North Pole team be able to get things moving again ready for Christmas Day? Join us and find out!


This year's Panto-style story is ideal for children aged 0 - 12, or anyone who simply loves Christmas!
