Actor Stewart Wright is coming to Stroud on Friday, December 6, offering families the opportunity to make this festive season an unforgettable one.

Wright will bring Father Christmas to life as he comes to Stroud with his magical Christmas show Santa & Sven, performing at the Museum in the Park at 4.30pm for the very first time.

Experienced at entertaining all ages with his own brand of improvisation and audience involvement, theatre meets 'An Audience with Father Christmas' in this 50-minute interactive show.

Created by Wright, one of Bristol's top comic theatre performers, in the height of the COVID pandemic in 2020, the show was originally produced to be performed on people's doorsteps, making it possible to bring live theatre to families at Christmastime.

For 2024, Santa & Sven has transformed into an enchanting, interactive show which will be performed at the Museum in the Park this festive season, before its first outing to London.

This year, Wright has reunited with actor and circus artist Ben Kirby as Sven the Reindeer Handler. Together, Santa and Sven are hoping to shave valuable seconds off their busy Christmas Eve schedule by gathering crucial stocking location and roof landing intel ahead of time.

Are you up to the challenge of helping our festive heroes with their quest? Get a peek into their enchanting world, see Sven play with his favourite snow elf circus toys, enjoy a Q&A with Santa, and more. They'll also answer the big questions about Santa and show glimpses of their Christmas magic. Come and see why they've been selling out venues all over the country.

Guaranteed to bring a sense of fun, mischief, and anticipation to all, families can expect music, sleigh bells, sack loads of Christmas surprises, and - of course - a sprinkling of Christmas magic.

Stewart Wright said: "I am thrilled to bring Santa & Sven to Stroud after the runaway success of performing it in various venues and locations across the country for the last four years. I love seeing the faces of children and parents as they step into our world to be greeted by the real Father Christmas and Sven the Reindeer Handler.

"There is a special kind of magic in Stroud at Christmas when the town sparkles with glittering lights and the streets are filled with festive spirit. From indulging in the town's finest mulled wine to taking a trip along the canal- I can't think of a better place to experience the magic of Christmas!

"There is nothing more thrilling than the pure excitement, joy, and laughter from an audience, especially at Christmastime. Santa and Sven loved their time doing shows around the country last year; being able to share the magic with so many children and families was wonderful. We cannot wait to meet new children and families in Stroud this year with our updated, magical Christmas show."
