Glastonbury charity Children's World is going to be holding a special festive event to celebrate the work it has done helping families through the challenging coronavirus times this year.

The Festive Special will be featuring a seasonal cabaret plus a craft session, and will take place on Saturday December 19 at Paddington Farm, Glastonbury.

Performances include Tall Tails Theatre with their short Makaton signed pantomime The Tale of the Charming Rat - a tale of a rat who gets turned into a footman for Cinderella's carriage - and a seasonal sing-a-long with Charlie Miller and Claire, plus two quirky elves from Same Same but Different, with a hamper full of fun and games.

In the craft area there will be enough angel and fairy-making kits, provided by Yeast Scrapstore, for everyone to make their own decoration. Hot drinks and light refreshments will be available on site.

To help keep everyone Covid safe there will be four timed entrances to the event, between 10am and 3.30pm.

There are six household tickets available for each session - for household bubbles of up to six people at a cost of £10 per bubble.

"It's been a tough year for us all," said charity director Kristen Lindop.

"But despite the difficulties, we've been able to provide Covid-safe weekly workshops since August for families locally, that have helped people deal with some of the challenges this year has thrown at them. Our festive day is a celebration of that work and a chance to look forward to a new year."

Tickets are available online at Ticket Tailor https://buytickets.at/childrensworld/461275 or over the phone on 07449 825750.
