Tips & Advice

  • Book your tickets as soon as possible, especially if you want to take advantage of the earlybird pricing, as this event is known to sell out quickly.
  • Arrive a little early to find parking, as the nearby car park can fill up, and to soak in the festive atmosphere before the concert begins.
  • Consider attending on the earlier date (December 13th) if you are concerned about tickets selling out for the second performance.
