Family theatre breaks for The Snowman
Now a major fixture in the Christmas calendar (2026 will see the Birmingham Rep’s version of The Snowman celebrate it’s 29th anniversary) , Raymond Briggs’ seasonal favourite returns to delight children of all ages at the Peacock Theatre, London and we have The Snowman and hotel Theatre Breaks available throughout the run.
When a young boy’s snowman comes to life on Christmas Eve, the two of them set off on a night-time quest for adventure. On their travels, they meet dancing penguins, reindeer and, of course, Father Christmas.
The Snowman Flies
Is it magic, is it trickery or can the Snowman really fly? You tell your children what you like, but they’ll believe he can, as he escapes the clutches of the evil Jack Frost to return home for Christmas morning.
This production is suitable for all children aged two and upwards. Featuring Howard Blake’s beautiful Walking in the Air, performed by a live orchestra and is a truly captivating mix of dance, stagecraft and music completing a magical Christmas fairy-tale Theatre Break.
IMPORTANT – Please note that Strobe Lighting is used during this show.
