You'll begin your Christmas LIVE 2026 experience by meeting with others at Promenade Methodist Church on the Prom in Douglas.

This is ANGEL HQ.

There will be a group of angels there, ready to meet you, give you a drink, and wait with you for the rest of your group to arrive.

When the time is right (we leave in 15 minute intervals, and have to leave on time), your personal angels will take you everywhere you need to go, starting at your first location...

First you'll go to meet Mary and Joseph, and they'll tell you how an angel appeared to Mary, and also to Joseph (but in a dream), and all about their journey to Bethlehem, and how they couldn't find anywhere to have their baby except the stable they're in right now.

Each of these following mini-dramas will take just around 3-4 minutes, so if you have wriggly young people (or adults) it should all be very manageable.

They will then give you a small gift before your angels move you on.

Second you will go to meet our shepherds, who have just returned from also seeing Mary, Joseph and Jesus! They'll tell you all about how the angels appeared to them and told them where to find the baby, and more.

They will then also give you a small gift before your angels move you on.

Third, you will go to meet our Magi / Wise 'Men', who have just returned from also seeing Mary and Joseph too! They'll tell you all about how they followed a star thousands of miles from their country, and also found the baby, and came to worship him with their strange and unusual gifts.

They will then also give you a small gift before you move on.

Fourth - (and 300 years later) you will be escourted to meet Saint Nicholas himself, who will tell you about how the story you've just walked through, and the person of Jesus have meant so much to him, that he is doing something very special under cover of darkness.

He will then give you your final gift.

You'll then be escourted to where you can enter a room full of costumes.

Here you're free to dress up in any costumes that you can find, create your own Nativity Scene, and take photos for yourself.

You can hang here and do this as long as you'd like to, before leaving by our secret passage into the street.

Now it's time for you to give YOUR gift!

Please leave us a donation, and whatever you can give, half of the moey raised will be going to Hospice IOM, and half will help to cover the cost of the experience which has been underwritten by local churches in Douglas.

The four mini-dramas will take 35-40 minutes to get through the lot, and once you add on your all-important costume time too, you're probably looking at an hour of entertainment and wonder as families and friends.

It's important when you sign-up, that you arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled performance time (remember that parking will be a challenge, and you'll need to get to HQ). Each angel-flight will leave at 15 minute intervals, and we only have space for up to 40 people in each group. If your family or group are late, we will try to squeeze you in to another performance time, but we can't guarantee that you'll be able to get in. We have to be strict on the numbers. Sorry!

Just turn up on time, and you'll have time for your lovely refreshments before you're escourted off.
