Santa Claus is coming to a Winchester theatre this Christmas.

Santa’s Christmas Cracker, a fun-filled, musical story, will be coming to Theatre Royal Winchester on Monday, December 16.

Santa’s Christmas Cracker is a fun, musical adventure telling the story of a lost penguin who has never heard of Christmas – and Father Christmas, Dotty the Elf and Dasher the Reindeer’s quest to teach him all about the most wonderful time of the year, while busy making toys, decorating the Christmas tree and getting presents onto the sleigh.

The show comes from Honalee Media who have visited the theatre in previous years with shows including Santa’s Christmas Countdown, Santa Saves Christmas and last year’s sell-out performances of Santa’s Christmas Wish.

Young audience members will also have the opportunity to meet Father Christmas after the show and receive a specially wrapped present.

Santa’s Christmas Cracker will be performed at Theatre Royal Winchester on Monday, December 16, at 10.30am, 1.30pm and 4pm.

Tickets start at £12.
