Maddie Moate's Christmas Show is hosted by the brilliant BAFTA-winning children's presenter Maddie Moate, back in the West End for another Christmas season. Very Curious Christmas tickets whisk you and the kids away to a magical place where they'll discover cool stuff like where snow comes from, why Brussels sprouts make you fart, and how crackers bang.
This thrilling interactive experience blends learning and entertainment with all sorts of scientific experiments to create curiosity, spark imaginations, and make education fun. The science behind the traditions that make Christmas so special is unpacked on stage in a show filled with colour and sound. The fun stars Maddie Moate and her special Christmas helpers, Tinker the trainee toymaker and Goggles the Head of Elf Safety. A unique seasonal STEM adventure that has all the signs of becoming an annual Christmas West End classic, your kids will go home inspired to try some science experiments of their own.

The story? Christmas is a really busy time, but things keep going hilariously wrong in Santa's workshop. Perfectionist Mrs Claus is on the way to give the workshop a surprise inspection, and time is flying past. Will Maddie and the young audience be able to use science to help Tinker and Goggles fix the workshop in time for the big visit?
Packed with amazing facts, awesome action, and thrilling science, Maddie Moate's Christmas Show tickets make a fantastic treat for every child who has ever asked 'why'.
