This event takes place in person across our building

After last year’s five-star festive performance The Holly King and The Oak King, award-winning immersive arts creators Wild Rumpus return to Battersea Arts Centre with a new family adventure.

Across Europe, mischievous Yuletide traditions have run riot and it’s up to YOU to save Winter from chaos. Guided by the rousing ‘Resistance Rabbit’, wander through enchanted lands and meet characters intent on causing disruption to the most wonderful time of the year.  

Can you join the mission to bring harmony back to the holidays? 

 

“Enchanting. Akin to walking with Alice on her adventures in Wonderland.”

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

All performances will be Relaxed. We invite you to make yourself comfortable and move around if you need to and if you need to leave the performance at any point you will be allowed to return to the space when you feel ready.

Sensory Adapted Performances: 

  • Sat 13 Dec – 09:30am, 10:15am, 11am, 11:45am
  • Sun 21 Dec – 09:30am, 10:15am, 11am, 11:45am

A sensory adapted performance means that intense and flashing lightings are reduced; loud sounds are lowered; there is less emphasis on text-based elements of the show; and there is more space for free play and exploration rather than following the narrative.

A young woman using a wheelchair and a middle-aged woman sit beside each other. They are surrounded by wooden crates and plants, with a billowing tent canopy overhead. Atmospheric low lighting, illuminates their faces with a golden glow and casts shadows of the plant leaves around them.
