About us

Join us on the Barbican for some festive family fun in the countdown to Christmas!

From The Barbican Light Switch On, 14 November until 24 December

Mrs Claus has been busy baking Santa's favourite Christmas treat... delicious gingerbread men!
But oh no! While she wasn't looking, the mischievous gingerbread men have runaway
Now they're hiding in shops all around the Barbican, giggling, causing mischief, and trying not to be found.

Find them all, and you might even earn yourself a special place on Santa's Good List!
