THE Vienna Festival Ballet arrives in Taunton this week to perform The Nutcracker at The Brewhouse Theatre.

The much-loved ballet centres around Clara and her nutcracker doll, which magically transforms into a princely soldier.

Clara and the Nutcracker doll combat the Mouse King and join the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier on a journey through a winter scene to a kingdom made entirely of sweets.

Performances are on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, at 7.30pm, with a matinee on Saturday at 2.30pm.
