This Christmas, get ready to meet Oops… the clumsiest elf in Santa’s workshop! 🧝🎁

Oops breaks toys, tangles ribbons and ruins routines — but when one disastrous mistake unleashes a fear-loving Christmas villain, Christmas itself is suddenly at risk! 😱🎅

Now Oops must journey across the North Pole, meet some unexpected friends and discover that mistakes can teach us, kindness is stronger than fear, and you don’t have to be perfect to be brilliant. ❤️

🎭 Written, directed & choreographed by Olivier Award-winner Nick Winston
🎶 With music by acclaimed composer & songwriter Jack McManus

Featuring incredible puppetry, magical storytelling, laughter, heart and plenty of festive sparkle, The Worst Elf Ever! is a brand-new Christmas adventure for the whole family. ❄️✨
