Jingle Bells

Brentwood Theatre presents

Jingle Bells – Pay What You Can Performance

Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way…

Chime is an accident prone Elf at the north pole whose job it is to look after the magical jingle bells that make Santa’s reindeer fly. In the run up to Christmas, Chime breaks the jingle bells while polishing them up ready for the big day. How will Christmas happen if Santa’s reindeer can’t fly?! In a race against time Chime enlists the help of their friend Spark, the elf who looks after the naughty and nice list, and the slightly grumpy reindeer Comet, to try and save Christmas!

From the writer of ‘The Night Before Christmas’ comes a new original festive family musical to enchant audiences once again as our two actors take the stage to tell this exciting new Christmas story using puppetry and a little touch of Christmas magic!

How To Train Your Dragon (Monday Matinee Movie)

Brentwood Community Cinema Monday Matinee

How To Train Your Dragon

On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames; The Black Phone, For All Mankind) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society. With the fierce and ambitious Astrid (BAFTA nominee Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us) and the village’s quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost; Snow White and the Huntsman, Shaun of the Dead) by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding. As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup’s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.
