Can children come to the event?
Absolutely! This is a family-friendly event and all ages are welcome. In fact, performers and behind-the-scenes volunteers are from all age groups at Broadus Church. Parents with small children are encouraged to bring wagons or “all-terrain” strollers with them for the performance. To ensure that we have room please reserve a ticket for children 5 years of age and older; children 4 and younger do not need a ticket.
May I bring someone who does not have a ticket?
We will try our best to accommodate each person by using unclaimed ticket spots from no-shows or late arrivals.
How do I cancel or change my tickets?
Please call the church office at 804-779-2700 ext. 17 for Karen Tucker and she will “refund” your ticket(s) and free up a space for others who may want to attend.
How long will I be outside?
Please plan to be outside for approximately 90 minutes. After arriving, you will check-in at our heated pavilion where you wait for your wagon ride to the trail entrance where your performance begins. The wagon ride and wait time will be approximately 30 minutes and the performance along the 1/2 mile wooded trail will last approximately 45 minutes.
Please arrive at Broadus Church 30 minutes ahead of your performance start time. This allows you time to park, check-in with your tickets, and board the wagon ride to the trail entrance. If you have not checked in at least 15 minutes prior to your performance time, you may lose your reserved space to walk-ups or late arrivals from the previous show. There is no guarantee that you will be able to go at a later time.
Late Arrivals will be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis.
What if I need to leave during the performance?
If you need to leave during a performance, the trail behind you will not be lit and additional performances will have started, so please locate one of your trail guides who will assist you out of the woods.
