The Elf that wasn’t Elfing

About The Elf that wasn’t Elfing

Trixiebelle the Elf is so excited, she’s just been promoted to Santa’s Workshop! The only problem is, she can’t quite get the hang of what she is supposed to do…
She feels like she doesn’t quite fit in… but she is trying. Do you ever feel like that?

Come along and join the festive fun and help Trixiebelle find what her talent really is with high jinks, laughter, and wee bit of Christmas chaos along the way.

Theatre maker Kirsty Eila McIntyre and Stephen Graham-Martin join with EAS Productions to create this magical family show with an opportunity afterwards to make your very own Christmas crafts with Santa’s Elves!
