A POPULAR Christmas musical for young children and their families is returning to Salisbury Playhouse in December.

The Night Before Christmas combines magic and music in an enchanting production that is the perfect Christmas treat for the whole family.

As snow falls and gas lamps flicker into life, Father Christmas sets out on a joyful journey through the night-time sky.

With a sleigh full of toys and a twinkle in his eye, he urges his reindeer to ‘dash away all’.

Clement Clarke Moore’s The Night Before Christmas has been adapted by composer Glyn Kerslake and Wiltshire Creative artistic director Gareth Machin. It runs in The Salberg at Salisbury Playhouse from Monday, December 10 to Sunday, December 30.
