Where’s Father Christmas?

About Where’s Father Christmas?

An Oxford Playhouse production

Written by Helen Eastman

Directed by Samuel Rayner

It’s never too early to introduce your little ones to the magic of theatre! With more presents than ever to deliver, the elves are wrapping as fast as they can.

They’re nearly ready for the big day, but where has Father Christmas got to? And will he be back in time to deliver all the presents?

Join Father Christmas’ wrapping room for stories, songs, and activities… and maybe even meet Father Christmas himself… if you can find him!

From the team that created last year’s sell out show, Hurry Up Father Christmas! comes this delightful, interactive, festive adventure for children aged 3 to 6 and their families.
