The Jolly Christmas Postman

About

A festive treat for little ones and their grown-ups!

Following last year's hugely popular Elves and the Shoemaker, join us this Christmas season as Exeter Northcott and PaddleBoat Theatre Company unite once again for a magical theatrical adventure based on the beloved book The Jolly Christmas Postman by Janet and Allan Ahlberg.

The Jolly Postman is back — and he's delivering festive cheer all across Fairytale Land! From Red Riding Hood to Humpty Dumpty, the Gingerbread Man to Baby Bear, he has special letters (and surprises!) for all your favourite storybook characters. But will he make his final delivery in time for Christmas?

Packed with music, gentle humour and plenty of interactive moments, this heartwarming show is perfect for ages 3 – 8 and their families. Expect giggles, gasps and a sprinkling of snow in this beautifully staged festive tale that brings the joy of storytelling and imagination to life.

A perfect introduction to theatre for younger children, with live music, puppetry and a delightful festive atmosphere.
