Santa is determined to deliver the most fantastic Christmas present to Sarah, but he doesn’t get it right straight away! With the help of his cheeky Elf, he finally settles on something ‘perfect’, just in time for Christmas Eve.

From the author of the well-loved children’s book Dear Zoo, Rod Campbell, comes Dear Santa and it’s LIVE! This show is an ideal introduction to theatre for those aged two and over. The Christmas cheer continues, with the opportunity to meet Santa in his grotto after the show, where every child will receive an extra special gift!

It’s sure to be one Christmas present children and parents alike will never forget. The perfect family show that will be enjoyed by all this Festive Season.

Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book artwork. Illustrated. A light green grassy field, in front of forests and mountains. A castle sits in front of the mountain peaks. O the grassy field, (left to right) a green dragon, and orange frog sitting on a stack of books, a bear, a pirate, a knight in medieval armour and a parrot circle around a young boy wearing a red and white striped shirt and blue jeans sitting in a yellow chair with a repeating leaf and parrot pattern. Above, text reads (top to bottom): ‘A musical adaptation of the best-selling book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book.’ Below this text, a crocodile tears apart a book. Other books lie on the right side of the crocodile in the grass.
