the CHRISTMAS CAROLS SHOW!

CRANBORNE EARTHOUSE

An evening of Christmas cheer with a difference! 

METRO

With Sheema Mukherjee and Raoul Neumann banging out the carols; stories from Tim Ralphs, Ben Haggarty and Steph Brittain; disorders of service, chaotic sing-alongs, and Christmas tree shrines – this is the Crick Crack Club Christmas Carol Show!

Join us in the magical Earthouse to unwrap a teetering pile of winter-wonderlandish fairytales and glowing-by-the-fire other-tales; eat mince pies; drink mulled wine; exorcise any hint of Scrooge; skid down the icy lanes of the very best Christmas carols, and most of all, sing your heart out!

All profits from The Crick Crack Club Christmas Carols shows go to The Trussell Trust.

In a field in Dorset there is a hill with a door. This is the Earthouse, a 250-seat fire-lit theatre, where audiences sit on wooden benches, under an earth roof, held up by 21 huge oak tree trunks.

Join us in this fabulous quirky venue for regular storytelling shows throughout the year and a Christmas Carols spectacular in December! Expect an epic experience and A LOT of festive fairylights.

The fire will be blazing, but make sure you wrap up wam for winter shows!  We recommend bringing a cushion and wearing sensible shoes. A torch might also come in handy…
