The Curious Tale of Jack Frost
Stiltskin Soapbox Children’s Theatre, selected dates until 24 December
This magical festive delight is a treat for the whole family.

A Grimm Christmas
Barbican Theatre, 12 to 23 December
Looking for something a bit more grown up? Enjoy this darkly delicious festive treat that’s just for adults (no kids allowed!).

They’ll be retelling traditional folklore but completely uncensored, with plenty of menace and gore to thrill and delight you on A Grimm Christmas Night.
Tickets cost £15. Book on the Barbican Theatre website.
