The Magic of Ballet Shoes Returns This Festive Season

'A treat for every possible kind of family… if you see one show this Christmas season, make it Ballet Shoes' - The Independent, ★★★★★.
In a crumbling house full of dinosaur bones and fossils, three adopted sisters – Pauline, Petrova and Posy – are discovering who they are and what they want to be.
Under the watchful eyes of their guardian Sylvia, Nana, and some unexpected lodgers, they fight to follow their different passions. But in a world that wasn’t built for children’s big ambitions, can they stay true to themselves, keep their family together, and perhaps learn a dance or two along the way?
Don’t miss your chance to introduce a new generation to this timeless tale.
Ballet Shoes: November 2025–February 2026.
