Christmas Season at Stanley Arts

27 Nov - 28 Dec

Join us for festive fun for all the family this Christmas season.

What's on this Christmas

Get into the Christmas spirit with a nail-biting retelling of perhaps the most famous ghost story of all time, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol – A ghost story for a winter’s night, (Tue 27 Nov). Or join Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet for an unforgettable, dazzling Christmas Disco (Sat 29 Nov)

Followed by Let’s All Dance’s The Nutcracker. With the company’s usual fabulous dancing, gorgeous costumes, crystal clear story-telling and sumptuous music, this is the perfect Christmas ballet for the whole family!

Get in the festive spirit with our annual event, Christmas Light Switch On (Fri 28 Nov) where we turn on the Christmas lights on our beautiful trees and you can sip on mulled wine as local performers put on a show. You can then browse for the perfect gifts at our Christmas Market (Fri 28 & Sat 29 Nov) where we’ll have local traders selling crafts, arts, vintage goods and produce.

You can also bring your children to meet meet Father Christmas at Santa’s Grotto (throughout weekends in December from Nov 28), and get an amazing present made by his elves!

And finally, we have our unmissable and fabulous pantomime Cinderella. Suitable for families and adults for a great time out! (Sat 13 – Sun 28 Dec)
