A Couple of Christmas Crackers

With the festive season if full-swing, you'll find plenty on events to get you in the Christmas spirit.

Classic Christmas Ballet

An absolute must - as essential to the festive season as turkey and ham: The Nutcracker. Tchaikowsky's last ballet has been running for well over a century and audiences can't get enough; a puppet show, dancing mice, a growing Christmas tree and of course the Sugar Plum Fairy, are just four of the reasons not to miss this seasonal treat.

Christmas with the Philharmonic

If you're looking to hear some of those Christmas 'classics' over the festive season, then make the Philharmonic your destination. Featuring some of the best classical Christmas songs, including pieces from Handel's Messiah and Verdi's Othello. They'll also be performing some old-time Christmas carols, so bring your singing voice, or your earplugs - depending on who you're sitting next to.
