00:00Journey to Christmas Shire at King's Dock Liverpool this festive season.
00:06We've got three yurts that make up Christmas Shire which is right next to the wheel of
00:10Liverpool and so our audience are invited into the yurts to meet three different characters
00:15and the first year they'll meet Nutmeg.
00:18This is an interactive performance where you are part of the story.
00:23Christmas has become so commercial hasn't it?
00:25It's all about food, it's all about presents and we felt that it was really important to
00:30remember the true spirit of Christmas so spreading kindness, spreading generosity and sharing
00:36this with loved ones and so that's why we wanted to come down here and to encourage
00:42that with families and that goes for adults as well as children.
00:45In the heart of Christmas Shire the elves are bustling with preparations for the most
00:49magical day of the year.
00:50Father Christmas and his dedicated team of elves are working tirelessly to ensure everything
00:56is ready for the big day.
00:58All the letters must be read and catalogued, presents must be selected and wrapped and
01:02most important of all they must ensure the sleigh is in full working order ready for
01:09its journey around the world.
01:11But this year something unexpected has happened.
01:15The reserves of Christmas magic have dwindled.
01:18Inside the elf the beloved keeper of magic has discovered a mysterious leak and urgently
01:23needs your help to replenish the magic stores.
01:27We have weekdays for toddlers as in pre-schoolers so they're in the afternoon and then the evening
01:34performance during the week are actually for any age as are the weekends and we have relaxed
01:40performances as well so anybody that wants to come we adapt the performance so we lower
01:46the lights, the sound, children can come and go as they please.
