A Town Called Christmas
26 November 2025 - 31 December 2025
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+ and their grown-ups. Brought to you by Gala Durham and Wrongsemble.
Running time approx. 55 min (no interval)
All performances will have integrated captions on a screen within the set.
