Catch some family theatre fun this December!

CDP Kids, The team that brought you The Gruffalo’s Child, SPOT and The 13-91 Storey Treehouse fun over the last few years are back with two wonderful school holiday offerings for the whole family this December!


The Midnight Gang | A play by Maryam Master based on the bestselling novel by David Walliams

Twelve-year-old Tom unexpectedly finds himself lonely and lost in the children’s ward of St Crook’s Hospital, away from his family and at the mercy of evil Matron. Tom feels like he’ll never leave, but his fellow young patients have other ideas. They might be stuck in hospital, but their imaginations can take them anywhere as The Midnight Gang. Each night when the clock strikes midnight, The Midnight Gang go on a series of amazing journeys as they turn the hospital into the places they’ve always wanted to go and make dreams come true!

Don’t miss David Walliams’ bestselling book come to life on stage in a celebration of friendship, love and the power of the imagination (for children 6+ and their families). For tickets and more information click here


Room On The Broom | Adapted from the award-winning picture book by Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler

How the cat purred and how the witch grinned, as they sat on their broomstick and flew through the wind…

The witch and her cat are flying happily on their broomstick – until a stormy wind blows away the witch’s hat, bow and wand. A helpful dog, bird and frog find the witch’s lost things, and they all hop on the broom for a ride. But this broomstick is not meant for five and – CRACK – the broom snaps in two! When a hungry dragon appears, who will save the poor witch? And will there ever be room on the broom for everyone? With songs, laughs and scary fun for children aged 3 and up – and their grown-ups… this is one not to miss! For tickets and more information, click here.
