Next Door But One presents When Robins Appear at Acomb Library

Something feels a little different this year…

The snow has fallen, the winter stars are twinkling, but the sparkle of Christmas seems to be missing. Can two friends, facing big changes like moving house, starting new schools and a first winter without grandma, find the magic again?

With the help of a magical robin, Ellis and Lowen are whisked away on a joyful journey through their favourite wintery memories! From festive food and colourful fairy lights, to joyful songs and thoughtful gifts, they soon discover that the real sparkle of Christmas isn’t found under the tree - it’s in the laughter, love and unforgettable moments we share together and that can live forever in our hearts.

When Robins Appear is a heart-warming, high-energy show packed with catchy songs, an enchanting design and plenty of audience interaction - it’s a festive celebration that gently explores big feelings around change, friendship and what really makes unforgettable moments!

Co-created with children and young people from across our community - including young carers, those in care, youth theatres, and disability and mental health support services - this show is as inclusive and meaningful as it is magical.

Perfect for 7-11 year olds and their families.  Please note: All except babes in arms require a ticket to attend.
