When all is quiet on the farm, when everyone is asleep, when the snow coversthe ground and stars twinkle in the frosty sky -that’s when Tomten wakes up. He looks after everyone on the farm while they are sleeping.

No-one has ever seen the Tomten, but sometimes you can see his footprints in the snow.That’s how you know he is real.

Tomten has seen generations come, and generations go. But where do they come from, and where do they go? A deep riddle plays on Tomten’s mind…

One thing he knows for sure is that spring is coming; soon cows will be grazing in the fields and swallows singing in the trees again.

Full of delightful farm characters and Swedish charm, Viktor Rydberg’s well-loved poem is brought to life in a new puppetry show for children 3+.

Supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
