A festive children's show inviting audiences to Grandpa Elf's Christmas party at the Theatre Royal.
The Christmas Cracker runs from 18 to 22 December at the Theatre Royal on New Road, so it's one of those things you can slot in over the Christmas break rather than having to clear a specific night. It's a children's show, and the whole thing is built around an invitation to Grandpa Elf's Christmas party, which the producers bill as the most spectacular event of the season.
If you've got younger ones to keep entertained, it's a straightforward one to plan around. The run is five days long, from Friday 18 to Tuesday 22 December, so you've got a few different dates to choose from depending on when you're actually in town. The venue is the Theatre Royal, right on New Road in Brighton (BN1 1SD), which is easy enough to get to from the centre.

As for the show itself, the setup is simple: you're invited to Grandpa Elf's Christmas party, and that's the frame for the whole thing. It's aimed at children, so it's the kind of outing that works well if you're looking for something to do with the kids before the holidays properly kick in. Tickets start from £13, so it's a fairly accessible one if you're taking a few people along.
