    First published in 1843, Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol has never been out of print and has been translated into several languages and adapted many times for television, film and stage, but none have captured our hearts as much as Henson’s musical masterpiece. 

    Join our Discovery team as we host a very special Muppet caper of our own to celebrate 150 years of never eating singing food, lighting the lamp and not the rat, and that tropical heatwaves stop your assets from being frozen.

FAQs

Due to the mild scary scenes that occur as Scrooge is visited by spirits, we suggest a minimum age of 3+. We also know that this is an iconic movie, loved by people of all ages, so adults, children and families are all welcome.  (children aged 3 and under are free, but will have to remain on a lap throughout the screening).
