We might currently be in the height of summer, but Christmas is sure to come around faster than you think. If you’re someone who longs for the festive period, it’s worth getting ahead and booking in those Christmas activities ahead of time before they all sell out.
One such show that’s sure to be a hit among theatre-goers is A Fairytale for Christmas, which is coming to Manchester’s Opera House for two nights only in November. Based on Irish music and culture, it takes classic Christmas songs such as ‘Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town’, ‘Step into Christmas’, and ‘The Fairytale of New York’ and puts a fun twist on them.
Of course, there’s also a bunch of classic Irish bangers in there too, including ‘The Galway Girl’, ‘The Irish Rover’, ‘Dirty Old Town’ and ‘The Black Velvet Band’. The show’s description describes the whole affair as ‘St Patrick’s Day party on Christmas Day’.
