A brand-new festive experience at Battersea Arts Centre.
We are delighted to be returning to BAC for second year to deliver an immersive festive experience to families across the South East.
Based on the old Celtic folktale, The Holly King and The Oak King will take families on a magical journey across the seasons, exploring the balance of nature and the elements in our ever-changing world.
” It was a true delight to attend a preview of The Holly King and The Oak King -it was absolutely magical! With an incredible cast, the show is moving, engaging and full of laughter.”

The Holly King, ruler of winter, snow and darkness and the Oak King, leader of summer, warmth and light go to battle twice a year to fight for which season will reign supreme. One particularly long winter, the Holly King defeats the Oak King once and for all, plunging the world into bitter cold and darkness. Can the Oak King pick himself up and restore balance to the seasons, or will the world be stuck in a deep freeze forever?
With puppetry and performance, Director Hal Chambers will bring this magical story to life as the audience weave amongst the installation to be fully immersed in this beautiful tale.
We would love to see you there! Tickets can be purchased via the BAC website.
