This is Christmas

For those who fancy appearing in something different to the traditional Christmas pantomimes, can we suggest you take a 'no obligation' peek at what's on offer here? Synopsis... A fun ride through Christmas. From the North Pole to Bethlehem and back. You'll hear first hand, never before told stories of Christmas, and along the way, meet just a few of the iconic figures of Christmas. Jesus and Santa will be along to say hi, and possibly sign a few posters.. you'll meet up with Rudolph, Prancer, those three questionably Wise men from the East, plus an assortment of characters, including 'Haggith,' the first Scot to trade a Glasgow bedsit for a life in downtown Bethlehem.
