The tour so far
As the world-leading performers of The Snowman film with live orchestra, we have performed in a wide variety of venues from opulent cathedrals to theatres and hospitals.
For schools
Our performances and streaming packages are a unique and special opportunity for children to experience the thrill of live music by an orchestra comprising some of the UK's foremost musicians.
2022 Tour has six dedicated schools performances in Derby, Buxton and Oldham, but classes are welcome to our daytime public shows too. See tour dates
Auditions for soloists
We will be auditioning children between the ages 7 and 17 to be part of The Snowman Tour by singing the evocative Walking in the Air solo (and sometimes other solos where applicable), during our performances.
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. Find out more...
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 The Flight Before Christmas with live orchestra, premiered by Carrot Productions as part of our The Snowman Tour 2022.
Which orchestra is playing?
The Picture House Orchestra – comprising musicians hand-picked from top UK orchestras including the Hallé and BBC Philharmonic amongst others.
