Registered Charity bringing shows of puppetry, song & storytelling to children's hospices in the United Kingdom at Christmas for free!
Christmas For Kids isn't just about festive spirit; it's about bringing the magic of live theatre to children whose circumstances prevent them from experiencing it otherwise. They're not talking about grand stages and velvet seats; they're talking about hospital wards, classrooms, and even living rooms. Transformed into vibrant spaces where laughter echoes and joy takes flight.
❄Children & families at @DemelzaCharity Hospice had a fabulous time exploring "in the snow" yesterday with our Chirmblesense team...
🎁We had a marvellous show filled with truly #magicalmoments of interaction, #engagement & communication between children & their loved ones!

Their audience is as diverse as it is precious. Children battling life-limiting illnesses. Those with profound learning difficulties, and many others facing unique challenges – all united by a yearning for the wonder of performance. The thrill of storytelling. The sheer joy of a good belly laugh.
Christmas For Kids understands that "one size fits all" doesn't apply to spreading holiday cheer. Whether it's a small gathering of two curious faces or a bustling Christmas party for 200, their team tailors each performance to suit the needs and abilities of their audience. Their shows are interactive, playful, and overflowing with festive silliness. Ensuring every child feels included and empowered to join in the merriment.
And there's something for everyone – even those who can't be there in person. Recognizing the limitations geography and physical health can impose, Christmas For Kids has embraced the power of digital delivery. Their online show is a vibrant, accessible portal to the Christmas magic.
