A family-friendly Christmas show is set to return to Bridgwater this festive season.

Following last year's sell-out performance of Santa's Christmas Wish, Honalee Media will present another hit Santa show this December.

Santa's Christmas Cracker is an enchanting 45-minute interactive family show, particularly suitable for children aged two to eight, where every child receives a special gift from Santa.

The show revolves around Father Christmas and his friends at the North Pole, who are all super excited as Christmas draws near.

Father Christmas is busy making toys, Dotty the Elf is decorating the Christmas tree, and Dasher the Reindeer is loading presents onto his sleigh.

However, they meet a lost penguin who has never even heard of Christmas.

The show promises a fun and festive musical adventure to discover the wonder of Christmas.

After the show, the adventure continues as each child gets to meet Father Christmas and receive a specially wrapped present.

The show will feature festive songs including Jingle Bells, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, The Twelve Days of Christmas, Deck the Halls, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and many more.

It will take place on December 11 at Bridgwater Arts Centre.

The centre is a vibrant community hub located at Castle Street.

Established in 1946, it holds the distinction of being the first arts centre in England to receive funding from the Arts Council.

Tickets are priced at £11.50 for adults, £10.50 for children, and £42 for a family.

They are available now and can be purchased by visiting the Bridgwater Arts Centre's website or by calling the box office at 01278 422700.

"What better way to start the festive season."

"Perfect engagement with the children, lots of audience participation, and the children were beside themselves when Father Christmas gave them a present after the show.

"Wonderful value for money and top-rate entertainment."

Families North Hampshire said: "Eyes lit up full of wonder and joy – as my children walked away from receiving their gift they whispered, ‘That was the real Santa.’"
