The Steadfast Tin Soldier is the venue's festive production and it tells the story of a remarkable toy tin soldier who falls in love with a beautiful paper dancer.
The whole show, which is based on the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, is performed by puppeteer Paul Preston Mills.
'It's a story about love and how love can conquer all and pull you through difficult situations, and how you should always follow your heart,' he said.
The production - which is by Banyan Theatre Company - runs from December 21 to 30.
