Short Stories Tall Tales: The Night Before Christmas

About

Interactive storytelling for babies, toddlers and their parents or carers.

Actress and mum Hannah Summers brings classic and modern stories to life through live performance and interactive, creative play.

Adventure into stories, explore through the senses and let your little ones’ imaginations run free. There’s a different story every month!

Suitable for ages 0-4 years.

Inspired and adapted from the 19th century tale by Clement Clarke Moore.

A family stay at Granny’s chocolate-box cottage for Christmas and soon discover everything that is exciting about this magical time of year.

With festival interaction in this imaginative retelling, your little ones will play and sneak a peak at the jolly chap who might visit with presents, if, of course, they are good boys and girls!

A wonderfully high-spirited spin on an old favourite that will inspire even the most “bah humbug” curmudgeons. You and your little ones will love this!

Adapted for storytelling, written and told by Hannah Summers, illustrations by Miranda Summers.

Please note, all infants over three months old require a ticket as this show is specifically aimed at babies and pre-schoolers.

Short Stories Tall Tales is proudly supported by Wickers Gymnastics, encouraging creativity, confidence and movement in young children. You can find out more here.
