Creation Theatre

Step into a world of twinkling lights, ticking clocks, and toys that might just come to life… Follow young Marie as she’s swept from her family’s festive parlour into an enchanting adventure, where she must journey through a magical land of sweets, face the fearsome Mouse King, and join forces with a brave Nutcracker in the battle of a lifetime.

This Christmas, Creation Theatre brings a brand-new theatrical take on The Nutcracker — adapted from the original E.T.A. Hoffmann tale and filled with wonder, mischief, and festive adventure. Expect dancing (not always by ballerinas), magical transformations, and a generous helping of nutty humour — all wrapped up in a glorious score by Patrick Stockbridge, with live music and toe-tapping tunes.

Join Creation for a very special evening of poems and carols!

Many of our favourite actors, creatives and collaborators will be gathering to read a selection of Christmas poems, and lead us all in the singing of some carols. A chance to gather and get into the Christmas spirit (with plenty of mulled wine and mince pies, and a Christmas tombola)…

Last year’s event sold out, so please do book ahead.
