20 November – 6 January

Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic story is brought to life in a festive twist of fun, foot tapping mayhem and sea shanties galore!

The Barn’s Christmas extravaganza will be a rip-roaring thrilling feast of swaggering pirates, X marks the spot, a chattering parrot, mutiny on the high seas and pieces of eight “Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum style.

The perfect Christmas treat for all the family. Pirates of the Caribbean meets Fishermen’s Friends
