Christmas has never been this claw-some...

Meet The Society for Christmas Creatures. They are the world’s only expert team of festive detectives, and they know a thing or two about Christmas. Armed with a taste for adventure (and a pair of knitting needles), they’ve trekked far and wide searching for Christmas creatures of every shape and size. Now they’re here in Farnham for their toughest mission yet: to find the elusive Christmas Lobster and maybe (just maybe) discover the true meaning of Christmas.

Join The Society on this brave new adventure across the globe, meeting fantastical creatures, cheeky characters, and some sparkly surprises along the way…

A hilarious festive show for all the family, The Christmas Lobster is packed with great songs, laugh-out-loud gags, and buckets of Christmas cheer.


A brand new show brought to you by the award-winning Bucket Club (Five Children and It and Lorraine & Alan) and Farnham Maltings (It’s a Wonderful Life, The Syrian Baker, and Jess and Joe Forever).
