Story Time: The Christmas Show (14/12/2013)

Everyone deserves their 15 minutes of fame!

It's Christmas and the children have been practising very hard for their nativity play. The narrators are word-perfect, the Important Angel has brushed her hair and the audience is in their seats. But when the curtain rises, no one's expecting a spare shepherd to steal the show …

Join The Christmas Show for some festive fun!
