It’s Christmas Eve in Cornwall and two little girls and their Gran are excitedly preparing for the big day. But where’s Dad? As night falls, their fisherman father is caught in a storm far out at sea. Will he make it home for Christmas? Perhaps—with some extra special help.
Based on the beloved children’s book A Christmas in Cornwall by local author Craig Barr-Green, featuring original live music and songs by Matthew Thomason, Nadelik is a delightful, interactive festive show for children and their families, with live action, puppetry, and a heap of festive cheer.
Suitable for ages 2 – 102.
£5 per person, under 1 year olds are free
Each audience member will need a valid Museum Annual Pass or Membership to go with their ticket to see Nadelik. The show lasts for 50 minutes and there is no interval.
Nadelik is taking place in the Learning Centre on Level 2 of the Museum. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the show starts so that you have plenty of time to check-in at the Main Entrance and make your way across The Boat Hall and up the Tower stairs, or Tower lift.
Saturday 21 December – Sunday 5 January
