Get into the festive spirit with _The Muppet Christmas Carol_, a much-loved Christmas classic packed with music, comedy and plenty of Muppet mayhem. Before the screening, join artist Esther Marshall for a fun, accessible creative workshop inspired by the Muppets.

The Muppets star in this heartwarming adaptation of Dickens’ festive tale, with Kermit the Frog as Bob Cratchit, Miss Piggy as Emily Cratchit and Gonzo as Charles Dickens, alongside Michael Caine as Ebenezer Scrooge.

On Christmas Eve, the miserly Scrooge is visited by three ghosts who show him the error of his ways — with plenty of songs, silliness and Muppet magic along the way.

Finger Puppets But They’re Muppets, led by Esther Marshall

Ever wanted your own portable version of _The Muppet Christmas Carol_? Bring along an old glove or tiny sock and turn it into your very own finger-puppet Muppet!

Fabric scraps, patterns, sewing needles, buttons and decorations will be provided. If sewing isn't your thing, you can make a festive collage or Christmas card instead - perfect for getting on the Muppets' nice list.

_Hot glue will be available for less experienced sewers and must only be used by parents or facilitators._

Esther’s inspiration comes from Jim and Jane Henson, the creators of the original Muppets. They made the puppets themselves in the early days of The Muppets, before the team grew to include more artists and makers.
