Soulpepper Theatre
This year, Santa’s Village has a magical new look inspired by Soulpepper Theatre’s production of Bad Hats’ Narnia — an adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ beloved story of the mystical land beyond the wardrobe.
Designed by production designer Shannon Lea Doyle, the immersive installation transforms Soulpepper’s lobby into an enchanting winter forest filled with snow-flocked evergreens, twinkling lights, and shimmering ice crystals. Visitors will wander through the bewitched wardrobe doors into a sparkling landscape brought to life with atmospheric projections, a large-scale hanging sculpture, and whimsical Narnia-inspired animations.
Meet Santa, share your wish list, and capture a festive photo to remember the moment. Don’t forget to check Santa’s schedule before your visit — and keep an eye out for Santa’s Elves spreading cheer throughout The Distillery Winter Village.
Soulpepper’s Bad Hats Narnia runs November 18 – December 28. Purchase tickets.
Soulpepper Theatre also invites visitors to help Torontonians in need by dropping off gently used winter coats between November 13 and January 4. All donations will support New Circles, a Toronto charity providing clothing, community, and care.
