About Little Angel Theatre: Finding Santa

Join a fun-filled festive mission this Christmas with a brilliant family show from the highly-acclaimed Little Angel Theatre.

How do letters for Santa Claus get to the North Pole? And what if something goes wrong along the way?

Tatty and Pumpkin are two elves on one very important mission: to bring everyone’s letters to Santa on Christmas Eve. When an accident causes the elves and their precious cargo to fall out of the sleigh, Tatty and Pumpkin have to recover all of the letters and get them back to Santa in time for Christmas!

Filled with quirky characters and loveable puppets, this exciting adventure story invites young audiences to get in on the action and help to decide how the story unfolds.

It's been written by much-loved children’s author Sean Taylor, whose award-winning children’s books include Hoot Owl, Master of Disguise, Where the Bugaboo Lives and When a Monster is Born.

The show is perfect for ages 4 and up and you can bring the whole family including older siblings, parents and grandparents.

School tickets from £13.75. Standard tickets from £17.75 (from £14.75 for under 16s).

Relaxed performances available

Relaxed events at MAC are designed to improve the experience for people with Autistic Spectrum conditions, sensory, motor and communication disorders, learning disabilities and anyone who would benefit from a more adapted environment.

The main lights remain on, the volume is reduced, and we hope you’ll feel comfortable to remain inside should you need to make noises or move involuntarily. We sometimes offer a pre-show introduction to the venue and performers, signalling anything that may be big, loud, or unexpected.

If you need a break, you can speak to our staff and they will point you towards a quiet area to relax.
