Seven Days to Save Christmas
The laugh-out-loud pantomime with a big heart and even bigger Christmas spirit!
When a spoilt boy discovers he’s landed on Santa’s Naughty List, there’s only one way to fix it — he must learn seven important lessons before Christmas morning!
But these aren’t ordinary lessons… they’re about kindness, sharing, forgiveness, and friendship — all discovered through a whirlwind of comedy, chaos, and festive fun.
Expect wacky stunts, silly skits, and plenty of audience participation. One minute you’ll be doing ninja karate chops, the next you’ll be dodging jumping snakes or shouting that there’s a giant fluffy bunny rabbit on stage!
Full of laughter, music, and mayhem, Seven Days to Save Christmas reminds us all that Christmas isn’t about getting more — it’s about giving, caring, and finding joy in the people around us.
A fast, funny, feel-good festive adventure for the whole family!
