Raymond Briggs’ Father Christmas

A little Christmas Eve adventure for the youngest theatre-goers.

Your Christmas, a little more memorable.

Join Father Christmas as he gets ready for the busiest night of his year. Based on Raymond Briggs’ much-loved book, the Lyric and Pins and Needles production follows the preparations, reindeer and journey into the snowy night.

A gentle seasonal theatre outing to build into a family day in Hammersmith. Consult the theatre’s show page for current age guidance and access information.
