Book for your school

A magical Christmas show perfect for schools

All shows will feature a special screening of The Snowman, accompanied by our live orchestra. There will also be a fun, festive medley and introduction to the orchestra created by CBeebies Musical Storyland composer, Daniel Whibley, and a special visit from the Snowman himself!

As a bonus, each performance will include a second short film, also accompanied live by our orchestra. For 2025, we have commissioned a fantastic new animation to accompany probably the greatest and most beloved guide to the orchestra ever composed: Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf.

Relaxed performances

We are proud to work with Carrot Productions to provide relaxed performances that are perfect for special schools or schools with SEND children. These performances have fewer attendees, have breakout spaces, and have a more relaxed atmosphere. Read more in a school review of a relaxed performance.
