The Elves and the Shoemaker
Gala Durham's own festive show for under-sevens, retelling the fairytale with music, puppetry and audience interaction.
About This Event
Suzie Shoes runs a shoe shop but is hopeless at making shoes, until, with Christmas approaching, beautiful pairs start appearing while she sleeps. This Gala Durham production retells the classic fairytale with music, puppetry, storytelling and plenty of audience interaction, pitched at children aged 3 to 7. Performances run at 10.30am and 1.30pm, with an extra 3.30pm show on 19, 20, 22, 23 and 24 December; a number of performances have already sold out, so check availability before you go.
