About this event
The Albion Christmas Band are widely regarded as the premier seasonal show, which has been touring for 25 years this year, and attracts sell-out audiences across the UK.
Indeed, many people say that their Christmas doesn’t start until they have seen The Albion Christmas Band!
Featuring the combined talents of Simon Nicol (Fairport Convention), Kellie While (Albion Band) Simon Care (Edward II) and the Guvnor himself, Ashley Hutchings MBE, this show takes you on a guided tour through the Christmas customs of Britain.
A seasonal mixture of carols, spoken word and humorous readings, it really is the perfect way to start your festivities. This year will see material chosen by the band from the last 25 years of shows and albums, a “best of the Albion Christmas” selection.
Described in The Guardian as “the perfect antidote to the corporate Christmas”, this is a show not to be missed! Featured in the 'Top ten unmissable shows this Christmas' by The Telegraph in 2018.
Starts: 7.30pm
Tickets: £27
