A Box full of Christmas: Festive Fun at The Box

The Box Museum in Plymouth has a packed programme full of festive events this season to get you and the family feeling properly Christmassy.

From cosy “Breakfast with Santa” sessions and hands-on yule wreath-making workshops to live music, storytelling, yoga by candlelight and even a sparkling New Year’s Eve family party. Check out everything that is happening at the museum this Christmas.

Wreath Making

On 27, 28 and 29 November a range of Wreath Making Workshops will be taking place for adults, families and groups. Create beautiful, sustainable decorations with locally sourced materials.

Alex Hart live with Jon Fazal

The wonderful sounds of Alex Hart return to The Box on 14 December when she’ll be performing a mix of festive tunes with a folk twist and support by up-and-coming local musician Jon Fazal. Find out more about festive sessions with Alex Hart at The Box.

Candlelight Yoga

Give yourselves the gift of time and space on 15 December and reflect and relax with Jules Laville YOGA from Plymouth’s Space to Move studio in a festive Yin & Yang Yoga Flow practice that will energise you and enliven your senses.

Regency Ball

If you’re looking for a unique experience with friends, family or colleagues, or an extra special party night, look no further than The Box’s Regency Ball. With candlelight, 4tissimo string quartet, drinks, canapes, dancing (and a little dance coaching!) and games, 19 December is set to be a very splendid evening indeed!

Christmas Eve and New Years Eve

Family fun is firmly on the agenda on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. On 24 December, The Candlelight Theatre Company will present Naughty or Nice. Mistletoe, the naughtiest elf at the North Pole, has arranged for everyone to meet Santa but has lost the 'Naughty or Nice' list. How will Santa deliver presents without this important document?

On 31 December, a NYE Family Silent Disco Party will be taking place from 4-7pm. Enjoy an early countdown, party tunes, face painting and glitter and still be home by bedtime. Adult tickets will include a free hot drink while child tickets will include a party tea and treats.
