Christmas is coming! At this time of year, there’s always plenty of all-ages fun to be had. Here are our top five for the family this December…
The Snow Queen
Unlike any other panto in the city, the multi-talented cast of The Snow Queen sing, dance, entertain and play music live on stage, making sure The Snow Queen is as cool as can be.
Regular Everyman writers unite with musical director Greg Last to bring the usual music and mayhem to this chilly tale. Already in swing, the Snow Queen runs until Saturday 19 Jan, with tickets priced from £15 to £35.

Dear Santa
A perfect introduction to theatre for those aged 2 to 7 years old, Dear Santa is a Christmas present children and parents alike will never forget.
Santa is determined to deliver the most fantastic Christmas present to our little hero Sarah. But he doesn’t get it right straight away! With the help of his cheeky Elf, he finally settles on something ‘perfect’, just in time for Christmas Eve. All the ingredients of Rod Campbell’s ingeniously simple and charming style are brought to life on stage, plus a whole lot more… with music, laughter and plenty of audience participation.
Come along to The Atkinson and enjoy the magic from the 12 – 18 Dec, with performances starting at 1:30pm, for just £12.50!

In the Window: Mister Finch
A story sewn in, woven in. Velvet curtains from an old hotel, a threadbare wedding dress and a vintage apron become birds and beasts, looking for new owners and adventures to have. Storytelling creatures for people who are also a little lost, found and forgotten.
For the month of December, the Bluecoat Display Centre window will be brought to life with a unique installation by Mister Finch. Come along for free to see the fantastic and magical world of In the Window.
