In a cosy village nestled in the snowy mountains, the Shnootnoot Winter Festival is fast approaching. Astrid is busy practising to play with her school band. Everyone wants her to keep in time, but Astrid just wants to march to the beat of her own drum. Meanwhile, deep in the Winterwood, The Jingleclaw – played by Alexia McIntosh (SIX the musical) awakes, a mischievous monster who can’t STAND festive cheer and music.

Can Astrid find a way to keep the village safe? With original songs, festive magic (and a little bit of naughtiness!), The Jingleclaw is the perfect first musical for ages 3+.

Relaxed Performance: Wed 18 Dec, 1.15pm

What is a relaxed performance?

A Relaxed Performance is an adjusted version of the show where sensory aspects such as bright lights and loud noises are reduced, delivered in an environment ‘where it is acceptable to move around, make noise, and behave in non-normative ways’. These performances are an important means for disabled people and people with sensory sensitivities, including but not exclusive to people with learning disabilities, autistic people, and people with other neurodivergent conditions, to experience the arts in an inclusive environment
