Even if you are reading this from your sun lounger, undoubtedly the thought of Christmas has already started to tinkle like a festive bell in the back of your minds.
Seven Stories, The National Centre for Children’s Books is delighted to announce its Christmas event season and there is something for everyone.
Festive preparations have ground to a halt. Father Christmas and his elves are stuck in a snow drift. Will Christmas even go ahead this year?
Seven Stories invites families to step into the festive glow of Seven Stories Attic this December for a hilarious, festive performance Elves Wanted! Festive Sleigh-quel. With a liberal dusting of imagination, fun and plenty of interaction, families will be transported to the frosty North Pole where trainees at the Elf Academy are thin on the ground and the two eager remaining elves need all the help they can get.
In order for Christmas to go ahead, all the family must don their Elf Academy hats and brush up on how to speak Reindeer, complete session 1.0 of Gift Wrapping Skills and be fully versed in all five levels of Christmas Cheer. They will be a tested. Booking for this lively performance is now available on the Seven Stories website.
