Amie Johnson, Theatre Manager, shares her excitement: "We're absolutely thrilled to present such a magnificent festive line-up this year. We've got the timeless beauty of The Nutcracker, followed by the return of the riotously fun Gingerbread Man that's guaranteed to have everyone laughing!"

First, step into an enchanting world with Kings International Ballet's exquisite rendition of 'The Nutcracker,' showing from Saturday 6 December to Thursday 11 December. With breathtaking choreography, stunning costumes, and the timeless score by Tchaikovsky, this beloved classical ballet is brought to life in a spectacle of grace and beauty. Follow Clara as she dreams of a magical nutcracker doll coming to life, leading her through the Land of Sweets where she encounters the Sugar Plum Fairy, the mischievous Mouse King, and the serene Snow Queen. This production promises an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages, filled with lively dances, fantastical characters, and heartwarming moments.

Then, get ready to run, run, as fast as you can to catch Stuff & Nonsense Theatre's uproariously funny retelling of 'The Gingerbread Man,' from Sunday 14 December until Sunday 4 January. This brilliant family show brings the delicious Gingerbread Man to life as he sets off on the journey of a lifetime! Join in his epic quest as he uses his wits to escape anyone who finds him tasty. Is he faster than a goose? Can he cross a river using a fox as a raft? Are gingerbread men allowed on trains? Stuff & Nonsense apply their usual brilliance with a captivating mix of puppetry, live action, great music, and clever humour in this exciting and pacey show. Suitable for all ages, from three to ninety-three, there are no scary bits - just don't turn up hungry!
