The Snowman Tour 2023

Make it a Christmas to remember, with a special screening of family-favourite The Snowman, accompanied by a live orchestra.

We are the world's leading performers of The Snowman film with live orchestra – with over 300 performances to date, performed by some of the UK's finest musicians.

"Top family things to do at Christmas..."

The Guardian, The Sunday Times and The Telegraph

"Sheer brilliance… a truly enchanting Christmas experience…"
"Magical!  The best family event we’ve ever been to..."
W&G The Wrong Trousers (train)

Including Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers

Alongside The Snowman film, a whistle-stop Christmas guide to the orchestra and a visit from the Snowman himself, join everyone’s favourite cheese-loving inventor, Wallace and his trusty companion, Gromit in Aardman’s multi award-winning film, The Wrong Trousers (including the best train chase sequence ever created).

Please note: Performances at London St. John's Smith Square feature The Bear and the Piano alongside The Snowman

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

We offer a personal assistance scheme which enables those coming to an event in need of assistance to claim a ticket for a personal assistant at no charge. Wheelchair spaces are available by request. This can be requested by contacting the ticket issuer for a particular venue (see below).


Is The Snowman the only thing?

No, The Snowman is just the second half! In the first half there is a screening of Aardman’s Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers with live orchestra, premiered by Carrot Productions as part of our The Snowman Tour 2023.


Which orchestra is playing?

The Picture House Orchestra – comprising musicians hand-picked from top UK orchestras including the Hallé and BBC Philharmonic amongst others.


I have a question about my tickets. Who do I talk to?

This will be different for every venue. Ticket holders should contact the venue or their ticket issuer direct for full details (see below).
