About
Amber is six and loves reindeer! It’s Christmas Eve but Grandad is feeling tired and Amber’s favourite snow-globe gets broken. Then her world is turned topsy turvy by a surprise visitor and Amber begins an adventure she will never forget.
Join Amber on a festive journey like no other – after all, on the night before Christmas, anything can happen.
Inspired by Clement Clarke Moore’s much-loved poem ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’, we bring Christmas Eve to life in an exciting original production written by Hattie Naylor featuring music, skilful puppetry and a generous sprinkling of festive magic.
