Kicking off the festivities, a series of tree-lighting events will take place in local towns across Redbridge. The evergreen trees, adorned with twinkling lights, will be officially lit, from 22 November to 1 December marking the beginning of the holiday season.

Join us for our show ‘Sant-Nav’, where you meet us at the Santa’s Workshop and meet two of Santa’s chief elves. With just days to go before the big day, the Sant-Nav, Santa’s Navigation System has broken down and sent the North Pole into chaos. Will the Elves work together and have enough time to get Santa back on track? Come and enjoy a full of festive mishaps, music and plenty of holiday cheer at the venues listed below.
