Christmas Tales

Step into the story of Christmas!

Once upon a time, in a land where Christmas magic shimmered, the Shed became a place of wonder and joy. Step into this enchanting world this holiday season, where classic fairy tales come to life with all your favourite Tales characters and festive music.

Watch as the jungle is magically transformed by a whimsical snowfall and covers Lion Down in a scene of pure magic. Follow the lovable Blurgh on his heartfelt quest to make amends after accidentally eating the Christmas tree, a journey filled with humour and magic. Delight in the festive fun as the Three Pigs, Three Bears, and Three Billy Goats Gruff share their snow-kissed stories through song and dance.

Join us and let your heart be warmed by the spirit of goodwill. Don’t miss out on this unique celebration of the most magical time of the year.
