‘We want every child and adult to feel welcome’– York theatre’s Christmas show for little ones

York Theatre Royal are staging a gentle Christmas experience for little ones.

This Christmas, Story Craft Theatre invites you to step into an enchanting woodland with The Enormous Christmas Pudding, coming to York Theatre Royal’s Studio fromWednesday 16 to Thursday 31 December.

This heartwarming, festive adventure is for children aged two and over, and filled with puppetry, music and imagination.

Janet and Cassie from Story Craft Theatre said, “For some children, coming to see The Enormous Christmas Pudding will be their very first trip to the theatre, and that’s a really lovely thing to be part of.

“We want every child and adult to feel welcome, included and completely swept up in the adventure.”

Deep in the magical woods, something extraordinary is cooking… and it’s going to be big… really big… really, really BIG!

Inspired by a classic folk tale, this enchanting festive adventure celebrates friendship, determination and teamwork as the characters come together to create one enormously fantastic surprise.

Combining visual storytelling, puppetry, shadow puppetry, Makaton signing and a captivating original musical score, the production brings the story to life in a way that engages young audiences and invites them into the magic unfolding on stage.

Makaton Friendly theatre company, Story Craft Theatre, are passionate about creating inclusive experiences where children can explore imagination, communicate in different ways and discover the joy of live performances.

They are already a familiar face at York Theatre Royal, where the company runs its popular Crafty Tales sessions during term time.

Tickets for The Enormous Christmas Pudding are £15 and available here.
