Details
This Christmas at the MAC, step into a magical wintery woodland for Goldilocks and the Three Bears - where the newly adopted Baby Bear arrives with a tiny suitcase and one big wish: to belong.
Waiting for him is a cosy cottage and two wonderfully overexcited grizzly bear parents, Mama Bear and Papa Bear, who can’t wait to welcome him home.
Determined to impress his new family, Baby Bear stumbles into a series of hilarious mishaps as he tries to prove he can be truly perfect.
But as Christmas Eve draws near, the fabulous (and very wicked) showgirl Goldilocks sweeps into the forest in search of her next theatrical sidekick… and Baby Bear is top of her list.
Will Baby Bear finally find where he belongs, or will Goldilocks’ wicked tricks steal him away?
Packed with catchy songs, laugh-out-loud, fun-filled moments, and a few Home Alone-style gags, this joyful Christmas musical is a heartwarming story about family, friendship and the magic of being yourself.
Whether you've made the MAC Christmas show your yearly family tradition, or you’re starting a new one this year, Goldilocks and the Three Bears is just right!
Written By Ciarán Haggerty. Directed by Patrick J O'Reilly.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears is a show for all ages, but kids aged 5+ will get the biggest kicks.

How Our Prices Work
How Our Prices Work
Pick the best seats for you
We offer a range of pricing bands so you can pick the seat - and the price - that works best for you. Prices vary depending on where you sit in the Downstairs Theatre, from seats up close to the stage, to good-value spots in the mezzanine, and great sight lines a little further back. Whichever you choose, you’ll still enjoy the very same show.
Booking Fee: The MAC is a charity dedicated to creativity, culture, and connection - every £1.50 we make goes directly into supporting our transformative arts and community programmes. Therefore, a booking fee of £1.50 per ticket will apply to all bookings made through our website and over the phone.
Child tickets are for 15yrs and under. Babies under 12 months go free - please contact us to add a free ‘Babes in Arms’ ticket to your booking.
