Christmas Theatre for Children in Bristol – Yule Be Merry
Christmas Theatre for children in Bristol this year – Yule Be Merry
An award-winning Bristol theatre company, will be bringing festive fun to children in the run up to Christmas.
Brave Bold Drama, will be at St Werburgh’s City Farm in December with Christmas show Yule Be Merry.
Families join Christmas event planners Holly and Noel from ‘Yule Be Merry: carefully curated Christmas creations’ who must assemble a 12 Days of Christmas themed event on a tight deadline for a demanding boss.
The pair must battle tech glitches, poultry on the loose and apparently unavoidably delayed ballet dancers.
The event is entirely family and child centred, with a clever set up seeing a 40 minute performance followed by a 30 minute post-show workshop.
Brave Bold Drama has a brilliant reputation for creating highly engaging shows with fun characters that entertain children from the off. We reckon Yule Be Merry is guaranteed to be plenty of fun with lots of comedy.
The show will be taking place outside in the courtyard of its main site on Watercress Road. Audience members are advised to wear clothes to stay warm, although the space does have a roof and walls on three sides. Festive attire is warmly welcomed from both adults and children.
There’s more information – including access information – in the FAQs below.
Yule Be Merry runs at St Werburgh’s City Farm from 21 – 24 December 2023 at 11am and 2pm
