Traditional carol singing meets story Deliveroo!

Gather your loved ones, heat up some mince pies, pour a glass of sherry, and cosy up for your very own private story performance.

With the firm belief that Christmas should be special whatever is going on in the world outside, we have teamed up with regular collaborators A Word In Your Ear to bring brand new festive stories by local writers direct to your front door. 

Choose from our varied menu of tinsel tales and yuletide yarns and we will arrange for an actor to perform your chosen story for your household one evening in December. There is something to suit every taste, but all of our stories will offer a warm, feel-good factor to keep out the chill as the days get darker.

Listen here for a taste of some of the stories!

Tickets

£20 (+ booking fee) per performance. Buy one get one half price on all stories!

If you would like a story but are self-isolating, shielding or based the other side of the country, we are offering Telephone Tinsel Tales! For a ticket of £10 an actor will read a story down the phone to you or a loved one on an evening in December. Book your Telephone Tinsel Tale here.
