This Richard Curtis-curated charity shindig sounds like a mini festive Comic Relief, live from the stage of the Royal Festival Hall. We’re promised a ‘witty and enchanting evening will capture all of the fun and laughter of Christmas through a treasure trove of entertainment’. Expect poems, carols, celebrities, schmaltz and very earnest bits – it’ll probably be overegged, but that is very much the nature of the season, and it’s all to a good cause.
Help make Christmas even more magical while they’re still little with one of London’s many festive theatre shows created with small people in mind.
We’ve divided our list into family-friendly Christmas shows – that is to say, shows suitable for children, but not necessarily aimed at them specifically – and shows that are directly aimed at a younger audience.
Please note that the great family-friendly British Christmas tradition of the pantomime is such a big thing at Christmas that we haven’t included any here – they have their own page (see link below).
