The Snowman Tour 2026

Experience the magic of the classic film The Snowman, accompanied by a live orchestra, in Buxton and Derby.

Help meet the aims of the National Plan for Music Education by bringing pupils to an unforgettable live concert experience featuring some of the UK’s finest musicians at exclusive school performances in Derby and Buxton this December.

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.

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.
