Joined by world-renowned guests Emmet Cahill (making his UK debut) and Classical Brit nominee Camilla Kerslake, this spectacular concert promises a heart warming program of Christmas classics and symphonic masterpieces. From The Polar Express to Love Actually, O Holy Night to Danny Boy, and even a magical medley from The Sound of Music, the evening will deliver timeless music for all generations.

For the first time ever, all of Dolly Parton’s biggest hits can be experienced together in a rollicking and joyous new musical comedy. Packed with the iconic songs Jolene, 9 to 5, Islands in the Stream, I Will Always Love You, Here You Come Again and more, this lively and touching new musical tells the story of a diehard fan whose fantasy version of international icon Dolly Parton gets him through trying times. With her wit, humour and charm, Dolly teaches him a whole lot about life, love and how to pull yourself up by your bootstraps…even if your bootstraps don’t have rhinestones! This is one musical that is sure to make you smile.
Witness a show that revives the art of clowning, drawing in those who’ve turned away from the circus tents of old. Slava’s SnowShow is a cavalcade of chaos and charm that invites you to leave the everyday behind and indulge in pure, unadulterated delight.
Slava’s SnowShow brilliantly creates a world of wonderment and fantasy that transports the audience to a joyous, dream-like place where a bed becomes a boat in a storm-tossed sea, a child walks in amazement inside a bubble, a web of unseen cotton envelopes the audience, before a snowstorm whirls around the auditorium, leaving you ankle-deep in snow.
