About this Event
One winter's day, a boy builds a snowman who comes to life at the stroke of midnight...
The Snowman is coming to Barnes this Christmas! Don't miss this magical screening of Raymond Briggs’ beloved Christmas classic The Snowman, with live music from Festival favourites The Enchanted Cinema.
Join their pop-up orchestra creating the sound effects and music from the film-from crunching through the snow to walking in the air and racing through the woods on a motorbike-using their unusual, delightful and ingenious instruments, and your own voice and hands.
This fun, interactive workshop will be followed by a screening of Dianne Jackson's iconic animation, adored for over forty years. Then join the musicians on stage, try the instruments and make the most of the spectacular setting of St Mary's Barnes at Christmas.
Suitable for ages: 4+
Duration: One hour
Please note that all children, other than babies under twelve months, will require their own ticket.
Recording this performance is strictly prohibited so please, please keep all phones in your bags and enjoy the show.
