Multiple dates, 11am, 1.30pm & 3.30pm
He may be very busy checking lists, preparing gifts, checking lists (again), feeding the reindeer, polishing his boots, but he’s never too busy to visit one of his favourite places - the Bluecoat!
With a sackful of silly stories and a last-minute chance to check which list you might be on, Father Christmas invites you to a Winter Warmer full of family-friendly giggles, noise, and nonsense! This 60-minute show includes a chance for every family to meet, greet, and chat with Father Christmas—and take your own photos with the help of our friendly Elf.
Father Christmas has been bringing his silly storytelling shows to sold-out venues across Merseyside for over five years. His cousin and fellow storyteller, Gav Cross, has finally convinced him to bring this unique show to the heart of Liverpool!
