Father Christmas
Raymond Briggs' Father Christmas runs at The Belgrade Theatre in Coventry on select dates from 3 December until 27 December 2026. Father Christmas wakes from dreams of sun and sea to discover it's Christmas Eve, the busiest day of the year. Families watch him prepare for his deliveries, feed his reindeer, and take flight into the snowy night. The show runs 50 minutes and suits all ages, though it features smoke, haze and flashing lights. This co-production with Olivier Award-nominated Pins & Needles is a returning Lyric favourite. Book early for the best choice of performance times.
Presented by Lyric Hammersmith Theatre and Pins and Needles
