SPONSORED BY THEATRE ROYAL

Theatre Royal’s Christmas Cabin returns for its third year with Santa’s Red Nose Rescue, a festive, interactive mini-performance for children aged 2-7 and their families.

Step into Santa’s living room on Christmas Eve as he wraps the last presents and packs the sleigh. But disaster strikes! One of his reindeer is unwell, and the sleigh can’t fly without them. Can you help Santa save the day and complete his Christmas quest?

These performances take place in the Theatre Royal Christmas Cabin in the Arc shopping centre, Bury St Edmunds. — Get Tickets Here*
