Ness Botanic Gardens are hosting a new festive family production this Christmas

Families are invited to experience the festive magic this holiday season with Alfie and the Elf’s Christmas Rescue, an enchanting children’s theatre show brought to life at the picturesque Ness Botanic Gardens, just outside Liverpool.

Running on weekends from November 30th to December 15th at Ness Botanic Gardens, this heartwarming production by The Big Tiny Theatre Company promises a wonderful yuletide treat for children and their families, guaranteed to make this Christmas truly magical!

Performed in the gardens’ stunning atrium and set against the beautiful backdrop of the Ness Botanic Gardens, Alfie and the Elf’s Christmas Rescue follows the charming story Alfie the Elf, who (thanks to a punctured bicycle tire) is stuck at Ness with the naughty-or-nice list. The children are invited to help Alfie get back to the North Pole and save Christmas! Featuring catchy songs, interactive moments, and captivating performances, the show is designed to delight children and adults alike, immersing them in a world of holiday cheer.

Ben Richards, Director of The Big Tiny said:

“This show is all about bringing families together to celebrate the magic of Christmas. From the beautiful garden setting to the lively, interactive story, we wanted to create an experience that sparks joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories for children and their families.”

Ness Gardens had this to say:

“We have worked with The Big Tiny for a number of years and we are thrilled to host Alfie The Elf’s Christmas Rescue at Ness. There’s lots of Christmas activities planned across December including wreath making workshops, story–time with Father Christmas, a family Christmas garden trail, table decoration workshops and festive Christmas lunches in our restaurant. Alfie the Elf is a wonderful festive addition to our festive programme here at Ness.”
