“Twelve Yuletide Yarns”: A Big-Hearted, Hilarious Journey Into the Magic of Winter

This new, festive production is a joyful, chaotic mix of stories and poetry, specifically designed for schools, libraries, and community centres.

Twelve Yuletide Yarns is packed with stories of winter wonder and epic adventure—where imagination (and escaping carrots!) run wild.

The show is written by celebrated British poet, broadcaster, and author Murray Lachlan Young, and features a stella on and off stage team.

It’s suitable for all the family and is especially geared toward children aged 4+.

12 Yuletide Yarns has been made possible thanks to the generous support of Arts Council England with funds from the National Lottery and the support of Tendring District Council and the Shared Prosperity Fund.
