We’re delighted to announce that tickets are now on sale for our 2026 Christmas production, Treasure Island – a swashbuckling festive adventure set to bring pirates, music, and storytelling magic to the heart of Somerset this winter.
Will you risk everything for gold? Or is some treasure worth more than money?
Jim Hawkins is growing up in the historic harbour town of Watchet on the coast of West Somerset, but wants more from life than one day becoming the owner of the family B&B.
However, the arrival of a mysterious sailor and the treasure map he carries turns Jim’s ordinary world upside down. Home comforts are soon a distant memory as Jim is aboard a ship bound for who knows where in search of stolen gold, sailing alongside a crew of colourful rogues, brave adventurers, and one utterly unforgettable, silver-tongued pirate: Long John Silver.
Bursting with rousing folk music, crashing waves, daring adventures, and plenty of laughter, this is a story about loyalty, courage, and the most important journey of all – growing up and working out what really matters.
Our Executive Director, Vickie Robbins, said:
“Our Christmas productions are a real highlight of the year for us, and for so many of our audiences. There’s something incredibly special about welcoming families back year after year and seeing theatre become part of their festive tradition. We’re so proud of the work our creative teams and performers bring to the stage each Christmas, and Treasure Island feels like a brilliant next chapter in that story.”
Over recent years, we’ve created a much-loved series of Christmas productions including The Nutcracker, Pinocchio, A Christmas Carol, The Little Prince, and The Wind in the Willows. From snow-covered streets to the magic of the circus, these productions have always been made with our audiences in mind – shaped by what families love most about their festive theatre experience and designed to bring people together year after year.
Our productions have become part of a growing seasonal tradition for audiences across Somerset and beyond, with many families returning annually to enjoy ambitious, high-quality theatre close to home. Building on this legacy, Treasure Island continues our commitment to creating accessible theatre that brings the community together.
Treasure Island runs from 9 – 27 December and offers the perfect blend of escapism and place – a story that begins in West Somerset and travels far beyond its shores.
We’re also proud to offer accessible performances as part of our Christmas season, helping ensure that everyone can enjoy live theatre in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Audiences can also save an extra 20% off when booking before 31 August 2026*.
