The Christmas Dragon

When a Christmas wish list turns up late on Christmas Eve, the team at Christmas HQ are faced with a dilemma; Father Christmas and his reindeer have already departed for their deliveries but these last few presents MUST  be delivered in time for Christmas Morning! The elves must think quickly and find someone to step in and save the day... but who can be trusted to do this VERY IMPORTANT JOB?

Join us for a magical adventure where the audience will be immersed in this interactive story, as they move around exquisitely designed sets, meeting charming characters and hilarious puppets along the way!

SHOW TICKETS

After the hugely popular Breakfast with Father Christmas and friends last year, we are delighted that he can join us once again! Enjoy a delicious themed continental breakfast before joining the 11am performance of The Christmas Dragon begins in our festive surroundings. Lovingly created by the team behind the show, you will meet some of the characters from the show and spend some special time chatting with Father Christmas himself!

Free Creative Training

If you’re 16–25 and live in Basingstoke, come get stuck into a hands-on creative experience. You’ll work with artists, performers, set builders, lighting designers, puppet makers (yes, really), and other pros to help make something amazing happen in your town.

Get involved in stage design, event planning, fundraising, and more — no boring lectures, just real projects, real people, and real skills. You’ll help deliver a live event and walk away with an Arts Award qualification.

It’s all about trying things out, meeting brilliant people, and seeing what’s possible — even if you don’t know what you want to do yet.
