About The Shows

Crackers

Meet The Crackers. They’re trying to get ready for Christmas Day, but it’s not easy when the family pet shop is going out of business, Great Gran’s expecting a visit from royalty and Napoleon the rat is on the loose.Join us at Polka for a festive family farce like no other, written by award-winning playwright Charles Way.

Grandad, Me and Teddy Too

Mia loves her Grandad very much. He lives far away, on the other side of the world, but finally, he’s coming to visit and Mia’s excitement is growing. When Grandad arrives he brings with him adventurous stories and games which set Mia’s imagination alight - together they explore the whole world without ever leaving her playroom. Join Grandad, Mia (and Teddy Too) as they share an unforgettable adventure to wherever their imaginations take them.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

I have children/grandchildren aged 2-10, can we book for both shows?

Yes absolutely, as long as all children have an adult attending the show with them. Children cannot attend a show without an adult. Your family can enjoy the party together and then divide to see the shows. Crackers will finish after Grandad, Me and Teddy too, but you are welcome to wait in the Play Den. We will have colouring activities for you there too.

I/my child/grandchild have dietary requirements, will there be snacks for us?

Yes! Just let us know any dietary requirements via email to [email protected] We’ll do our best.

What kind of food is provided?

Think of it like afternoon tea. Not a full lunch or dinner but plenty to keep you going for the party!
