Something magical is happening this Christmas...
Treat the whole family to a music box of delights this Christmas, as they witness the magic of 'The Snowman' film on a big screen, brought to life by some of the UK's finest musicians.
A perennial favourite, the highlight of the film for many is the evocative 'Walking in the Air', sung by a young soloist. Not a dry eye in the house!
We are also delighted to present brand new animation to accompany Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite; surely the most Christmassy and popular of all seasonal music.
With other Christmas crackers - including a festive guide to the orchestra, and a visit from a surprise conductor! - it's a truly memorable experience for all ages, and a wonderful opportunity for the whole family to create lasting memories.
No 2 in The Guardian's 'Top 10 things to do in the UK at Christmas, 2014'
"Tonight was sheer brilliance"
"The best and most magical event we have ever watched"
GET INVOLVED! Draw a Snowman picture, email your scanned picture to The Snowman Tour and your picture could be shown on the big screen at a performance you attend!

Rapunzel at the Park Theatre, Finsbury Park
The King and Queen of Püss Püss are looking forward to the birth of their first child when... disaster: the Queen contracts a life threatening fever and only a powerful herb, known as Rapunzel, can save the mother and child. The noble Baron Teth offers to locate the herb, however the witch who grows it has her price, and in exchange she demands the baby. The desperate King and Queen agree and the Queen recovers, giving birth to a healthy baby girl. But, as she is so quickly taken away, darkness falls across the land.
Eighteen years later the royals have given up any hope of finding their heir and Baron Teth, now their greatest confidante, is about to be ordained King. Then as the neighbouring Prince Corbyn rides through the forest, he hears singing from an isolated tower. Perhaps all is not what it seems... Where is the baby girl? What happened to the witch? And how noble exactly is Baron Teth? Find out, as the Park Theatre brings you the third and wackiest instalment in the Chronicles of Waa! Rapunzel is playing at the Park Theatre in Finsbury Park from 3 December until 2 January.
