Set Sail for a Swashbuckling Christmas Adventure!

Ahoy, families! This Christmas, embark on an action-packed, fun-filled festive adventure as we bring you the tale of Captain Sprout, a rotten rogue with a sneaky plan to steal Christmas! But standing in his way is young Freddy Frith, armed with nothing but courage, kindness, and his trusty teddy, Mr Moo.

Join a crew of bumbling buccaneers for a show packed with hilarious antics, magical shadow puppetry, original music, and plenty of pirate-y chaos! There’s audience participation galore, so little (and big!) adventurers can be part of the action from the moment they arrive.

With heart-warming moments, fantastic storytelling, and festive fun for all ages, this is the perfect Christmas treat for families looking to share a magical theatre experience together.

Book your tickets now and get ready to save Christmas, pirate style!
