Travelling through a divided world, they uncover empathy, trust, courage and belonging – learning that love grows when we come together. 12 Days is a joyful, heart-warming festive adventure for all ages (5 years old to 105!), brought to life in a spectacular Chickenshed production with a large, diverse cast – not to be missed!

The performance has integrated BSL throughout and is “sensory sensitive”.
