The Elf Who Lost Santa Claus! presented by the Candlelight Theatre Company.
Join us this Christmas for a magical, interactive show that will delight the whole family and get you all into the Christmas Spirit.
Meet Santa’s elves Sparkles, Bumble, and Mistletoe. They have been tasked with arranging an afternoon for a very special group to meet Santa.
Unfortunately, Mistletoe is just being naughty and not taking his job very seriously. Bumble is getting annoyed with Mistletoe and Sparkles forgot to do something which means Santa may not even make it to meet everyone.
Can you help them get along and find a way to make sure that Santa arrives on time?
Join Candlelight as it presents this interactive experience that will leave you feeling Christmassy…
That is if we can ever get Santa here!Ticket prices will include craft materials for the children to make a keepsake to take home with them. A drink and a Christmas Cookie for the children and a hot drink and homemade mince pie for the adults.

One of Exmouth’s grandest Christmas traditions is the Christmas Day Swim and what better way to see it than from the warmth and comfort of our boats? With hundreds of people gathered on the beach, it’s sometimes hard to catch quite what an incredible spectacle this is – but the view from our boat is absolutely remarkable.
Setting sail at 10.45am we head off to see the seafront show. On board you will be kept warm and toasty with a glass of our hot homemade, secret-recipe mulled wine and a tasty mince pie from one of our favourite local bakeries. We then take a leisurely cruise up the river before returning back just in time to pop the turkey in the oven! We would love for you to join the Stuart Line family this Christmas – please make sure you book in advance.
