The Moomin family was hibernating for the winter. They had been sleeping for a few months already and were going to keep it up until spring… Now all at once a cold draught disturbed Moomintroll’s dreams. And someone was pulling at his quilt and shouting that he was tired and Christmas was coming.

The Fir Tree is an adventure set in the idyllic and peaceful Moominvalley. It is a gloriously unselfish take on Christmas.

Suitable for all audiences from 3 years and upwards.



"The Fir Tree is a must watch for all families"
Maidenhead Advertiser

"The young and the not so young alikewill be
enchanted by this magical and funny tale
which has a wonderfully unselfish message at
its heart and features fantastic live puppetry,
music and a brilliantly clever set".
Wokingham Today

"The characters are loveable and very funny.
I was surrounded by children belly-laughing
at the slapstick comedy"
Little Ankle Biters
