Guest appearance by The Snowman promises to delight families.
Make it a Christmas to remember with a special screening of the much-loved film The Snowman projected on a big screen, with its unforgettable soundtrack performed live by a professional orchestra.
This much-loved show, featuring some of the UK’s finest musicians, will tour to Buxton Octagon on December 2, 2026 where the magical experience starts at 6.30pm.
As an extra treat, performances also include Fleece Navidad, which is a hilarious Shaun the Sheep festive short episode, accompanied live by the musicians.
There will be a special visit from The Snowman himself, a fun, festive medley and introduction to the orchestra created by CBeebies Musical Storyland composer Daniel Whibley and the chance for everyone to sing Walking in the Air at the end of the show.
The Snowman with Live Orchestra, presented by Carrot Productions, has been credited among “Top family things to do at Christmas” by The Guardian, The Sunday Times and The Telegraph.
