Originally published in 1978, The Snowman, created and illustrated by Raymond Briggs has become one of the world’s most popular children’s books, selling in excess of 8.5 million copies worldwide and being translated into over 15 languages. In 1982, the book was adapted as a 26-minute animated film. The Snowman was first shown in the UK on 26 December 1982 and has since been shown every year on Channel 4; it has also delighted audiences across the world.
In keeping with the book, the film of The Snowman is wordless and free of dialogue, except for the now iconic, “Walking in the Air” which features as part of a timeless musical score.
We're delighted to welcome brass virtuosos The EverReady Band back to The Fire Station this Christmas to perform the classic score alongside a screening of the film.
