Tickets for this year's The Snowman Tour are now on sale, following the pre-release of tickets to our subscribers on Thursday 4 June.
“We're excited to release details of The Snowman Tour 2026, and thrilled to be adding two brand-new venues to the tour as well as returning to so many firm favourites! ” Claire Surman, General Manager, Carrot Productions
The Snowman Tour 2026: the show
Make it a Christmas to remember this year with a special screening of the much-loved film The Snowman on the big screen, with the unforgettable soundtrack performed live by our fabulous orchestra. Our award-winning show offers a truly magical festive experience for audiences of all ages.
As an extra festive treat, alongside The Snowman, all performances will include a screening of Fleece Navidad, Aardman's hilarious Shaun the Sheep Christmas short episode, also accompanied live by the musicians.
Additionally there will be a fun, festive medley and introduction to the orchestra created by CBeebies Musical Storyland composer Daniel Whibley, a special visit from the Snowman himself and the chance for everyone to join in singing Walking in the Air alongside the orchestra at the end of the show.
The Snowman Tour 2026: Walking in the Air
During last year's tour we joined up with Classic FM's The Big Christmas Chorus in support of their charity Make Some Noise, to create the largest mass sing-a-long of Walking in the Air . Over the course of the tour over 25,000 people took part, singing or signing the iconic song and raising almost £2,000 for the charity.
The feedback was incredible – our audiences loved it! So, following the huge success and hundreds of requests for us to make it a part of the show each year on the tour, this December we will again give everyone the chance to sing or sign Walking in the Air at the end of the show.
