About this Event

All accompanying adults must have a ticket - this is an immersive experience, as well as a book event!

****All tickets include a signed copy of the new book. ****

Meet David Walliams, number one king of comedy and celebrate the release of his first ever Christmas adventure, Santa & Son - packed full of non-stop action and hilarious toy-shop antics!

Prepare for a supercharged, one-hour spectacular with one of Britain’s favourite storytellers David Walliams, which will include hilarious performative readings and a chance to get YOUR questions answered live on stage. Fun for all the family – laughter guaranteed.

It’s the night of Christmas Eve. In the most famous toy shop in the world, a robbery is underway and it’s up to the shop’s Santa and his son, locked inside with the baddies, to foil the heist!

Can our heroes stop them using just the toys in the shop as weapons? Pogo sticks! Bouncy balls! Remote-controlled helicopters! Bubble guns! Slime! Slinkies! Stink bombs!

Santa & Son is a fun, funny and heartwarming story for the whole family, and sure to become a Christmas classic.
