A magical mix of music and storytelling for 3 to 7 year-olds and their grown-ups is on offer at Lymm Methodist Church on the afternoon of Saturday 5th December.
Harvey Slumfenburger’s Christmas Present, based on John Burningham’s much-loved children’s book, includes a sleigh-full of heart-warming, festive storytelling, seasonal music and fun.
It is being performed by Musical Curiosities, a musical storytelling company which includes Lymm’s own nationally acclaimed flautist, Meera Maharaj, and multi-instrumentalist Jamie Stockbridge.
With just one gift still to deliver, Father Christmas sets out on a long and eventful journey. He needs to deliver one last present to Harvey Slumfenburger, the little boy who lives far, far away in a hut at the top of the Roly Poly Mountain. Father Christmas must hurry because soon it will be Christmas Day!
Along with the enchanting show, the afternoon will include craft activities for children to enjoy.
Harvey Slumfenburger’s Christmas Present launches Lymm Methodist Church’s new arts programme, Events @ The Brow, making use of its recently modernised facilities. Other events in the pipeline include a creative writing workshop with award-winning novelist Catherine Bruton and a concert by a balalaika orchestra.
‘We cannot wait to welcome audiences,’ says church member Paul Thompson. ‘We are delighted that Musical Curiosities are bringing their show to Lymm, and we know that children will be entranced.
‘Events @ The Brow will feature some wonderful and varied music and book events in the months ahead. We truly have something for everyone.’
Harvey Slumfenburger’s Christmas Present is being presented in association with Lymm Festival. For more information and to buy tickets, go to www.lymmfestival.org.uk/events.
