About The Inn-spectors

It is census time in Bethlehem and the inn-spectors have been sent in to check that all the accommodation is up to scratch. They are horrified to discover that at one of the inns some visitors have been put in the stable and a baby has been born amongst the animals! It will not do at all! However, as Mary, Joseph and the donkey tell their story and the special visitors explain the good news, the inn-spectors realize that this is no ordinary baby and they declare that the stable is fit for a King! With eight fabulous songs and a really fun script written specially for 4-8 year olds, this nativity musical is perfect for your Christmas production. A nativity that ticks all the boxes!

By Charlotte

Yet again Out of the Arc have produced another fantastic nativity. We went to town with this one this year....a foot tapping donkey, feather boas, fans and sparkly wand for the star and huge star faces! Funny script, catchy songs and lots of parts for everyone to get involved. Staff, children and parents loved it.
