There’s nothing Santa loves more than starting the countdown to Christmas by opening the windows of his giant Christmas calendar. But when he tries to begin the countdown this year, disaster – the calendar is broken and all the magical goodies inside have gone missing!
Santa needs them to get ready for Christmas… but how is he going to get everything back in time?”
Join Father Christmas, Dotty the Elf, Dasher the Reindeer, Jack Frost, Fairy Twinkle and Pompom the Penguin in a festive, musical, interactive, adventure to help fix the Christmas calendar and get Santa’s Christmas Countdown started!
Plus, during the show, you can post your messages and photographs on
The Santa Shows Facebook page – don’t forget to wear your Christmas jumper for the photographs! Father Christmas & friends will be sharing your comments and pictures after the show – Cosmo the Elf will be LIVE, so anything could happen!

We are hoping to reopen our Studio in January 2021.
This space is located on the first floor of our venue and has a current capacity of 8.
From the image, you can see that the space has been divided so that each attendee has their own personal space when attending a community class. This is just one of many things in place to make our Studio Covid secure.
Our Studio now has the addition of mirrors - perfect for dance classes!
If you are interested in hiring this space from January 2021, we are pleased to inform you that we have a special flat rate price at the moment: £15 per hour + VAT.
Please note, all bookings at the moment will remain provisional to enable us to reschedule them and move them if necessary due to Government guidance and restrictions.
In addition, at the moment the space is only available up until end February 2021 as we are expecting to shut the Blakehay Theatre for essential building works.
To express your interest or for further information, please email blakehay@wsm-tc.gov.uk
