Why you should see Maddie Moate’s Very Curious Christmas

Maddie, best known for CBeebies, is on work experience at Father Christmas’s workshop, and she’s got her hands full with two hilariously mischievous elves: Tinker the trainee toymaker and Goggles the Head of Elf Safety.

With Christmas fast approaching, the workshop is a whirlwind of mishaps and chaos. The snow machine is malfunctioning, the crackers have lost their pop and the Christmas lights refuse to shine. To make matters worse, Mrs Claus is arriving for a surprise inspection and she’ll be demanding perfection!

Maddie, Tinker and Goggles will need your help to save the holiday season and get the workshop back in full working order using science, curiosity and a touch of Christmas magic.

Bursting with festive fun, interactive experiments and lots of laughter, this family-friendly live science show is the ultimate Christmas treat for children and adults alike as they join forces to save the festive season!
