Make this Christmas truly unforgettable with a special screening of the beloved festive classic The Snowman, brought to life by a live performance from a professional orchestra.
Presented by Carrot Productions – the world’s leading performers of The Snowman with live orchestra – this award-winning show features some of the UK’s finest musicians.
As an extra bonus, performances include Prokofiev’s classic symphonic fairy tale, Peter and the Wolf, played live by the musicians and accompanied by a brand new animated film.
With a fun, festive medley created by CBeebies Musical Storyland composer, Daniel Whibley, to open the show – and a special visit from the Snowman himself! – this magical show is perfect for the whole family to enjoy together, creating memories to treasure.

All performances except York will last approximately 60 minutes, with no interval. The performances in York will last approximately 80 minutes, including a 20 minute interval.
Is the performance suitable for small children?
Our performances are suitable for age 3+. Occasionally children may become fractious during the performance, so we ask parents and carers to be considerate of others by temporarily leaving the audience area.
I need to ask about personal assistance and accessibility.

No. In addition to The Snowman, each performance will feature a second bonus film - Peter and the Wolf - together with a fun, festive introduction to the orchestra and a visit from the Snowman himself, all accompanied by a live orchestra.
