Horrible Histories Presents Horrible Christmas: Get into the festive spirit and book your Car Park Panto tickets now! New dates added.
Car Park Panto lifted the country's spirits this summer with the ONLY national tour of comedy, theatre and live music shows. After rave reviews from the public and press, they're back this winter with Car Park Panto, in partnership with the Birmingham Stage Company and Horrible Histories, to present Horrible Christmas.
Just when you thought your Christmas show had been cancelled, Horrible Histories comes to the rescue with their own unique take on the festive season. Horrible Christmas is the story of how Christmas came to be what it is today, enabling families across the UK to enter into the festive spirit in a safe, socially distanced manner, from the comfort of their own sleigh car!
When Christmas comes under threat from a jolly man dressed in red, it’s up to one young boy to save the day – but can he save Christmas? From Victorian villains to Medieval monks, Puritan parties to Tudor treats, join us on a hair-raising adventure through the history of Christmas in the company of Charles Dickens, Oliver Cromwell, King Henry VIII and St Nicholas as they all join forces to save the festive season!
It's a celebration of Christmas in the most wonderful, funny and moving way you'll ever see!
With normal everyday life still, somewhat far away, the cost of the pandemic is continuing to be felt and whilst we still have Christmas to look forward to, it’s going to feel very different without the family trip to the theatre. Christmas is often the first time a child experiences live theatre and now with hundreds of shows, big and small, being cancelled throughout the land, families and children, in particular, are going to lose out on one the cornerstones of the festive period. Horrible Histories will hopefully go some way to providing the laughter and cheer with this perfect story for the times in a car park near you this December.
Neal Foster continued; "We can't wait to be back on stage in cities and towns that will be crying out for a Christmas show to entertain their families. As you’d expect from Horrible Histories, it’s not a traditional pantomime, but a journey through the story of Christmas in the company of the season’s most fabulous characters. It’s the perfect story for families this winter, as one young boy battles to save Christmas for the world, in this hilarious, joyous and moving celebration.”
Grab the reigns and secure your space for the drive-in event of the season.
