Horrible Histories: Horrible Christmas

Raymond Gubbay Christmas Festival 2023

A group of Horrible Histories cartoon characters including Father Christmas, Henry VIII and Charles Dickens, singing Christmas carols

Horrible Histories proudly presents the terrific tale of Christmas.

When Christmas comes under threat from a jolly man dressed in red, it’s up to one young boy to save the day. From Victorian villains to Medieval monks, Puritan parties to Tudor treats, join us on a hair-raising journey through the history of Christmas in the company of Charles Dickens, Oliver Cromwell, King Henry VIII and St Nicholas, as they come together to save the festive season. 

It's a celebration of Christmas in the most wonderful way.

Each performance will run for approximately 75 minutes with no interval

This performance is suitable for children aged 4+
