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..."

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
Frequently Asked Questions

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).
