A Child's Christmas in Wales

Event Information

Running Time: 1 hour

Wed 09 — Thu 24 Dec

When did Christmas become so hectic? Have you ever craved a break from the bright colours, bustling shops and music so loud you fear your ears will ring for days?

A Child’s Christmas in Wales is the perfect antidote to festive madness, taking audiences to a magical place of wit, warmth and wonder. Returning to the stage after a sell-out run at Christmas 2025, Dylan Thomas’ beloved poem is woven into a beautiful hour of heart-melting music, puppetry, candles, shadows and rare imagination.

Emma Rice Company make their Ustinov debut following many highly-acclaimed Main House productions including Blue Beard, North by Northwest and Malory Towers.
