According to Arthur

Date: Friday, Dec 22 2017 - Sunday, Dec 24 2017
Venue: Alma Tavern & Theatre
Artists
Paddleboat Theatre

Following the success of last year’s Margo & Mr. Whatsit, PaddleBoat Theatre Company return to the Alma with their latest nationally acclaimed, heart-warming family show.

As the winter snows begin to fall, an old man called Arthur lives all alone in his attic. He never ventures into the outside world; instead he spends all of his time with his only friend – the moon.

But now, Arthur needs your help! On Christmas night, the clouds cover the sky and the moon is nowhere to be seen. Without his friend, Arthur’s life suddenly feels empty, and he feels more alone than ever before.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

PaddleBoat invite you to bring your unbounded imagination as together we try to help Arthur find the moon in time for Christmas – with your help, who knows what else he might discover outside his front door…
