A Musical Christmas

By Home, Uncategorized, Whats On

Following the huge success of last year’s event, we are delighted to be bringing A Musical Christmas back to Petersfield this year. A different collection of songs and performances, but matched with the familiarity of last years coziness. 

We are transforming the Festival Hall into a warm and magical environment full of festive cheer. A Musical Christmas is an immersive event, rather than just a show – audiences will be seated on a variety of different chairs and sofas, all grouped around small tables. It’s going to be cozy and enchanting!

During the first 45 minutes there will be live music, along with games should you wish to get involved. Drinks will be on sale, and complimentary nibbles & treats will be available to all. This will be a great opportunity to catch up with friends and family.

After an hour of settling in, members of Petersfield Youth Theatre will perform a selection of Christmas songs, along with an eight-piece band. 

Performances are on 20, 21, 22 December

Tickets will be available on Monday 11 November.

A Musical Christmas promises to be the perfect way to start your festive celebrations.

We are transforming the indoor Quad at Bedales into a warm and magical environment full of festive cheer.

It’s going to be cosy and enchanting!

During the first hour there will be carol singers walking through the crowd and live music playing, along with games should you wish to get involved. Drinks will be on sale, and complimentary nibbles & treats will be available to all. This will be a great opportunity to catch up with friends and family.

After an hour of settling in, members of Petersfield Youth Theatre will perform a selection of Christmas songs, along with an eight-piece band. After the performance, more festive treats will be available as you continue to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Tickets are £14 each and sold as unreserved, and your actual seating will be allocated by our dedicated team before you arrive. Be reassured, that there won’t be a stampede for seats, we’ll have it all calmly under control! The venue is intimate, so all seats will have a good view of the stage. If you wish to sit with friends or family, it’s important that you book together. Remember; book together to sit together!

We hope you’ll be able to join us!
