City Red and MAST Studios
Nothing says Christmas like the thrill of a theatre trip to watch an enchanting play. Make those magical moments this year by heading to Southampton’s MAST Studios on your local iconic City Red buses.
With a bus stop at the Cenotaph just a short walk from the studios, and multiple other stops in the city centre, make sure you don’t miss out on the fantastic shows on offer.
Until Christmas Eve, catch MAST’s own production ‘Second Star to the Right’, perfect for families with little ones.
Synopsis:
A magical place filled with colour, and light – and fairies of course – the Neverland is a map of your mind. When you play at it by day it’s one thing, but in the two minutes before you go to sleep it becomes very nearly real.
Made especially for very young audiences, ‘Second Star to the Right’ is an enchanting adventure for little ones and their grown-ups. Snuggle up and get ready to travel through the stars and discover the way to the Neverland.

Join Peter, Wendy, Tinkerbell and the Lost Ones as they battle the pirates and the evil Captain Hook in the classic story of the boy who never grew up.
