Beyond Candy Cane Lane

 

The Christmas realms are twinkling with tinsel and good tidings, so saddle up your sweet tooth, it’s time to take a sleigh ride to Candy Cane Lane, where sugar falls instead of rain! Faerie Floss lives in a tiny town deep in the heart of the North Pole called Sweetsville. The town is so tiny, Santa himself sometimes has trouble just finding it. Flossyโ€™s home is in the sweetest street in town, Candy Cane Lane, where all the very best Christmas sweets are made, especially Flossyโ€™s favourite treat of all: peppermint candy canes, but something in this toffee trimmed town is wrong! Join Faerie Floss and her friend Pip the Peppermint Faerie to find all the colourful magic that has disappeared across their beloved sugary homeland and learn that sharing and kindness are the sweetest gifts of all.

**NOTE – NO consuming of sweets or chocolates occurs during the show but children do collect a present to take home that contains treats (can be substituted for non-consumable treats on request)
