Details

When a young boy's snowman comes to life on Christmas Eve, the two set off on a night-time quest for adventure. On their travels they meet dancing penguins, reindeer and naturally, Father Christmas. Watch spellbound as the Snowman flies through the night sky above you, before escaping the clutches of the evil Jack Frost to return home for Christmas morning. With a double bill of films for children featuring composer Howard Blake's evocative scores and live orchestral accompaniment, this is the perfect way to round off your weekend. Watching the Christmas classic The Snowman on a big screen is a treat in itself and seeing an orchestra perform Walking in the Air live is absolutely magical. Alongside The Snowman, we present the premiere of The Land of Counterpane, a spellbinding animated film with children's choir, narrator and live orchestra based on Robert Louis Stevenson's poems charting his childhood flights of fancy.
