The Holly King and The Oak king

Inspired by the old Celtic folk tale, The Holly King and the Oak King, this brand-new festive adventure invites you on an unforgettable journey across the seasons.
Christmas is approaching but there isn’t a glimmer of frost in sight…

One hundred years ago, The Oak King, leader of summer defeated the Holly King, ruler of winter. It has been summer ever since and everyone is bored of eating ice cream! The world is out of balance and there has been no sign of change. Until now…

Will you join the quest to help The Holly King restore winter, and bring balance back to nature?

Follow performers on a magical dash through Battersea Arts Centre’s historic building. As the story unfolds through puppetry and performance, the whole family becomes part of the action in this theatrical trail with plenty of surprises along the way.
