About Horrible Histories live on stage – Horrible Christmas!
When you think of Christmas, many things usually come to mind – family, joy, goodwill, presents…but how about Oliver Cromwell, or William the Conquerer? Did you know that William the Conqueror was crowned on Christmas Day? However when the guards outside heard a huge cheer they thought a rebellion had started and burnt all the houses in the area! Or how about the reason that carol singers knock on your door is because Medieval priests threw them out of the church, so ever since they sing outside houses instead! When watching The horrible Histories live on stage – a horrible Christmas, you and your children will learn a multitude of Christmas facts guaranteed to impress their friends (or help you win a Christmas quiz)!
A horrible Christmas tells the story of what happens when Christmas comes under threat from a jolly man dressed in red! It’s up to one young courageous boy to save the day – but can he save Christmas?
From Victorian villains to Medieval monks, Puritan parties to Tudor treats, join the horrible histories team on a hair raising adventure through the history of Christmas in the company of Charles Dickens, Oliver Cromwell, King Henry VIII and St Nicholas, as they join forces to save the festive season!
If you have been here a while you will know that our family absolutely love everything Horrible Histories, the books are a big part of our homeschool, and over the summer we went on a trip down the river Thames with the horrible histories gang https://tutusandmud.com/terrible-thames-boat-tour-review/ to learn all about the gory history of London! We are so excited to watch a Horrible Christmas – the kids are literally bursting at the seams and counting down the days until we go – so am I actually!
