Captain Calamity at Stamford Corn Exchange Theatre

On Saturday 17 December 2022 at 3pm enjoy Captain Calamity, a live family theatre show at Stamford Corn Exchange Theatre.

Captain Calamity's plans for Christmas in Chocolate Button Bay are disrupted with a call from the Chief Elf at the North Pole. There's just not enough seasonal good cheer, magic and merriment in the world and Santa's not sure the Reindeer will fly if he doesn't get enough by Christmas Eve. Cue Captain Calamity's signature magic and mayhem. 

Expect a symphony of disaster conducted by a very smelly dragon, a mad scientist, a travelling musical storyteller and the biggest buffoon of all; Captain Calamity. Ideal for families and children of all ages.

Buy tickets here.
