Brighton is hosting a wide range of fun events for us this weekend! From festive themed performances to craft markets, there are so many activities for us to enjoy. Why not take a look here for some inspiration?
Friday 13th December
A Christmas Carol @ The Spire
Grab yourself a mulled wine as you enjoy the Charles Dickens classic, ‘A Christmas Carol’. This performance will certainly get you in the festive spirit. If the infamously cynical Scrooge can be merry, then anyone can! The beautiful setting of The Spire is a great space for dramatic performances, especially when they feature the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. It is great for the whole family and no matter how many times we see it, it never fails to warm the heart!

Adam Kay – Twas the Nightshift Before Christmas @ Brighton Dome
Many of us enjoy the time off from work during Christmas, however 1.4 million NHS staff don’t get this privilege. While we are happily tucking into a roast dinner, the NHS staff continue to save lives and help people. Adam Kay looks back at his diaries and performs a live show based on the ups and downs of a night shift before Christmas. We can step in the shoes of the people who help us in times of need, with a comical twist.
