This Friday (12 December), Richmond visitors can take a break from their Christmas shopping to enjoy a live carol performance featuring the Ocado choir of Ocado delivery drivers and staff and supported by the Soul Choir - with a very special guest appearance from pop-princess and 'Murder on the Dancefloor' singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor at 1pm.

1st Father Christmas Immersive Children's Show

Story Storks presents The First Father Christmas, the Fabulously Funny Christmassy tale of St Nicholas specially written for kids from 2 years up.  

IMMERSIVE THEATRE SHOW - Story Storks presents The First Father Christmas, the Fabulously Funny Christmassy tale of St Nicholas specially written for kids from 2 years up.  We join St Nick as he embarks on a mission to save three girls from slavery with bags of gold coins (real ones, not chocolate!) But should he get caught, the gold will be refused. How can he get the money into the house without being seen, especially as the windows and doors are locked? Does anyone have a ladder! 

Set in Roman-occupied Turkey, this immersive theatre show is suitable for those of all religions (or none) and tells how St Nicholas's generosity gave rise to Christmas Traditions that we still celebrate today, including hanging stockings in the fireplace, munching on gold coins and why the big man himself comes down the chimney at Christmastime.
