What to expect from Thursford Christmas Spectacular

Every year, a huge cast of West End performers and variety acts take to the stage in a three-hour performance which has everything from classic Christmas numbers and big show tunes, to daring stunts and special acts.

In 2024, Danny Butler, five-time British and European Mountain Bike Champion was joined by his brother, Ash in a bicycle stunt performance. Other highlights included Ukrainian contortion duo Anna Biseva and Sofiia Soloviova, brothers Michael and Dario from the Italian circus dynasty the Togni family, and award-winning diabolo performer Rody Olivares Fernandez.

Returning favourite for the last 40 years, Phil Kelsall MBE, plays the Wurlitzer and is always an annual highlight for groups young and old. We went along to see the 2024 show and had a blast - you can read what we thought by clicking here.

The show has been wowing guests for 47 years, and is set in the magical surroundings of mechanical organs and fairground carousels, with a cast of 120 professional singers, dancers and musicians. 

The historic barn in which the show takes place, is a state-the-art venue and can seat around 1,400 people for each performance.

Other attractions to make time for on a visit include the Enchanted Journey of Light and Fantasyland which are two festive walkways that transport groups in a winter wonderland.
