Snow Globe

Date: Friday, Dec 1 2017 - Sunday, Jan 7 2018
Venue: The Lantern
Price: £13
Artists
Kid Carpet

All Kid Carpet wants for Christmas is snow… So he’s hired Gary Barlow’s super-massive Snow Globe to guarantee a white festive season! Should be easy right?

But the Snow Globe is a whole new, weird world and his Christmas plans are diverted by a gang of ridiculous characters, power ballads, silly dancing and a cheeky talking refrigerator. There’s a pea-sized chance of snow… but is it enough for Kid Carpet to bring on a blizzard? Fingers crossed!

Join Kid Carpet (The Magic Elves, Kid Carpet and the Noisy Nativity) and his peculiar posse as they take over The Lantern at Colston Hall this Christmas with a signature blend of original music, comedy and theatrical chaos perfect for those aged 3 to 7 and their families.
