2. Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol

This week, you’ve got not one, but two magical chances to experience Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. From Thursday to Saturday, head to Norton Priory Museum to see this much-loved festive tradition come to life. Now in its sixth year, the production combines atmosphere, music, and storytelling to create an unforgettable experience for all ages. But be quick, this enchanting show always sells out fast!

And if you can’t make it to Norton Priory, or just can’t get enough of Dickens’ classic tale, you can also catch a captivating one-man performance at The Brindley on Friday and Saturday. Award-winning actor Craig Cowdroy brings Scrooge’s journey vividly to life in a powerful, humorous, and moving retelling of A Christmas Carol that truly captures the spirit of the season.

3. Big Fat Christmas Quiz, Rooftop Social

On Sunday, head to Rooftop Social for The Big Fat Christmas Quiz on the Roof! No pens, no paper, just quick thinking and plenty of laughs. Expect the best music round in the city and a good chance karaoke might make an appearance…

4. Christmas by Candlelight

This Thursday, head to Bents Garden & Home in Warrington and soak up the festive spirit with an evening of timeless Christmas classics performed by candlelight. A talented quartet of musicians will set the scene with beautiful live renditions, while a charismatic host guides you through the night with enchanting performances of your seasonal favourites.

As the music fills the air, sit back and relax with a glass of prosecco, and indulge in a sumptuous meal featuring your choice of Chicken Supreme or a Roast Butternut Squash Tian. Complete your evening with a decadent dessert selection: Sticky Toffee Pudding, or a refreshing Fruit & Mixed Berry Plate.
