Following a dark period of a number of years the Tom Thumb Theatre is to be re-launch in time for Christmas.
 

The Tom Thumb Players will be presenting the world premiere of A Dreamland Sideshow Christmas - seasonal extravaganza for the whole family.

A family determined to save the historic building from property developers purchased the Theatre at auction in April 2009 and A Dreamland Sideshow Christmas aims to place the Tom Thumb firmly back at the heart of the community

Sven Jolly, the ever-canny impresario, has forced a holiday theme onto his sideshow to raise sales.

Now his band of awe-inducing curiosities must attempt to bring Christmas to Margate.

Featuring Meredith the Margate Mermaid, George the Werefox, The Fortune Teller, and the amazing, microscopic Tom Thumb - this is a holiday show with a twisted twist.

Offering a fresh take on seasonal entertainment, the company have drawn inspiration from Dreamland the now derelict funpark, the work of JMW Turner, the stunning Kent coastline and stories provided verbatim by the Margate community.

The brand new Tom Thumb Theatre is proud to present an innovative and imaginative production.

A Dreamland Sideshow Christmas is part promenade; part experiential adventure; part installation; part fair; part circus; and all theatrical delight. . . wrap up warm and bring a brolly!
