The Story Behind The Show

Every Christmas, theatres fill with dazzling shows — but for many families, the price of admission makes them out of reach. At Glow Church, we believe Christmas should be for everyone. That’s why The Gift was created: a full-scale, theatre-quality musical that’s completely free to attend.

What started as a dream to bless our local community has grown into a tradition that welcomes thousands of people every year. From the youngest children experiencing live theatre for the first time, to grandparents rediscovering the wonder of Christmas, The Gift is designed to bring joy, laughter, and hope to every generation.

This isn’t just entertainment. It’s our way of giving back — a reminder that the true spirit of Christmas is found in generosity, love, and shared celebration.

When you come to The Gift, you’re not just watching a show. You’re part of a story bigger than all of us — a story that turns a simple act of giving into memories that last a lifetime.

Meet The Characters

The magic doesn’t end when the curtain falls. After every show, step into our free Meet & Greet exhibition — a whimsical world where the story comes alive.

Children and adults alike can meet their favourite characters up close, share a laugh, pose for photos, and take home memories that will last long after Christmas. From heart-warming heroes to mischievous sidekicks, these moments spark joy, creativity, and festive wonder.
