Take a magical Christmas journey with three children who discover Santa stuck in their chimney.

A play based on the famous poem, When Santa Got Stuck Up The Chimney, will feature a host of festive songs and games for all the family.

Writer and director, Ben Lambert, 36, said: "We have got two stories running at the same time. Three children are in their bedroom trying to pull Santa down and then the elves and Rudolph are on the roof trying to get Santa out.

"The play flicks between the two shows. It’s been really really good. I wrote the shows and produced and directed them. It’s been really fun for me seeing it all come together.

"There’s lots of singing and dancing including One Direction songs and traditional Christmas songs. We’ve got a couple of little games as well – it’s quite interactive. There are jokes for the parents too."

The performance is aimed at youngsters aged between five to eight years old and their families.
