Take a look at some of the highlights brought to you by the Culture Trust Luton this year and book your tickets, before it’s too late!
Luton Library Theatre – Santa’s Marvellous Magical Toyshop
Luton Library Theatre, Luton Central Library, St George’s Square, Luton, Bedfordshire, LU1 2NG
Don’t miss Santa’s Marvellous Magical Toyshop at the Luton Library Theatre from Saturday 14th to Monday 23rd December 2019. Christmas is coming, but after 164 years of service, Santa’s Chief Elf would like to retire. He’s getting old and he wants to spend Christmas with his little family. But poor Santa is left with a very big problem… who will make all of the toys for the good girls and boys? It’s a very big job and Santa must find someone he can trust – and fast! He places an advert on JobsForElves.com – what could possibly go wrong? This funny, festive show comes to life with catchy songs, beautiful puppets and Santa’s Marvellous Magical Toy Shop, full of glittery surprises! Suitable for children aged 3 years old + and their families. Includes a post-show meet and greet with the actors. Visit the website to book tickets or for more information.

Seasonal Skill Swap
On Saturday 14th December 2019, visit The Hat Factory and reflect, connect and exchange skills at the Seasonal Skill Swap. The event is free and instead you are asked to bring a donation of up to £5 of non-perishable goods, which will go to Luton Food Bank. Whether you’re a crafter, a dancer, a writer or a beatboxer, come and celebrate the artistic community then join the after party. From 4pm, join GRASSROOTS LUTON to meet artists to share the year’s challenges, stepping stones and accomplishments. Then, at 6pm pick your secret Santa and get making across the Hat Factory, coming back together at 7pm to share your skill with others and celebrate the creative community. Make your Christmas in Luton a creative one. Visit the website to book your free place or for more information.
