There are some spectacles in London this Christmas. I have avoided the dancing on ice kind of shows and have suggested some shows that are suitable for children (see age recommendation) and performances that you will happily sit through too.
Read and book soon!
16th – 31st December
A beautiful modern take on the classic in a stunning setting. 4+
The Red Shoes at Sadlers Wells
6th – 30th December
Most hotly anticipated ballet this season. 8+
Peter Pan at The National Theatre
24th November – 29th December
This Peter Pan is a riot of magic, mischief, music and make-believe, exploring the possibilities and pain of growing up. 7+
The Little Match Girl & Other Happier Tales at The Globe Theatre

For adults and brave children alike, expect music, puppetry, dark magic… and perhaps some modern truths that we would all rather remain hidden.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar at The Ambassador Theatre
2nd December – 7th January
This is my pick as it is age appropriate for my team and they are all familiar with the book. (Who isn’t – it’s almost a classic now)
