and frivolity. Featuring songs from Bert’s
three popular Tiddly Proms alongside festive
favourites, this interactive live musical
show is an ideal way for the under 5s to
re-introduce the adults they look after to
Christmas. Bert is in a festive mood; the
Christmas tree is up and he’s wrapped up
everything ready for the big day. Cherry is
coming to help put the finishing touches
to the decorations and all their friends will
be popping in too. As usual expect a lively
story, lots silly songs to sing along to and a
large helping of musical plum pudding.

12.30pm. Three Ballets performed by The

La Fille Mal Gardée
Recreated by Alexander Gorsky, this remains
one of the oldest ballets still regularly
performed. A gentle tale of love thwarted,
unrequited and found. It is a masterpiece of
comedy. With plenty of ribbons, romance
and rivalry, La Fille mal gardée conjures up
a world of pastoral simplicity where a farm
boy woos a flirty farmer’s daughter and they
find inventive ways to avoid her mother.
Tickets: prices vary.
Performance: 20th December – 7pm; 21st
December – 2pm & 5.30pm.
22nd - 24th & 27th - 28th December
The Nutcracker
As snowflakes fall outside, the warm glow of
the open fire sends flickering shadows across
the boughs of the Christmas tree and all the
presents beneath. When midnight strikes
we are swept away to a fairytale world
where nothing is quite as it seems, toy dolls
spring to life, the Mouse King and his mouse
