Pips and Panda’s Letter to Santa

It’s Christmas and Pips and Panda are posting their letters to Santa, when a little robin flies away with Panda’s letter!!

Jingle the elf takes them to Santa’s workshop so they can tell Santa what they want for Christmas. In the story we meet lots of characters, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and a funny computer! We also sing plenty of Christmas songs along the way too!

A special Christmas puppet show!

The #1 Best-Rated in TripAdvisor for Theatre & Concerts in South Lanarkshire

Outstanding

The morning show is specifically aimed at young children, with nurseries traveling for miles to let their kids see the puppets. It kept our 2 year old and 5 month old entertained the entire time.
