Nadelik 2026
Back by popular demand, Nadelik returns for 2026!
Based on the beloved children’s book A Christmas in Cornwall by local author Craig Barr-Green, featuring original live music and songs by Matthew Thomason, and directed by Simon Harvey, our Nadelik Christmas show is a delightful, interactive festive experience for children and their families, with live action, puppetry, and a whole heap of festive cheer.
It’s Christmas Eve in Cornwall and two little girls and their Gran are excitedly preparing for the big day. But where’s Dad?
As night falls, their fisherman father is caught in a storm far out at sea. Will he make it home for Christmas? Perhaps — with some extra special help.
Suitable for ages 3 – 103
