The Snowman at Lincoln Cathedral

Add to favourites
Dec 14
14th December 2024 - 15th December 2024

Join Lincoln Cathedral for a magical screening of The Snowman in the Nave, accompanied by a Live Orchestra and Chorister from the Cathedral's Choir.

The Snowman has become an integral part of many families’ Christmas since the picture book was first published in 1978. The animated version was first broadcast on Channel 4 in 1982 and has been shown every year since. It will have a particular poignancy this year following the death in August of its author and illustrator, Raymond Briggs, at the age of 88.

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 will be performed by a chorister from Lincoln Cathedral Choir at each performance.

The heart-warming story will be accompanied by a live orchestra who will bring the score to life and make the most of the incredible acoustics of the Cathedral. The nave will be lit to create a magical atmosphere ensuring an unforgettable experience for adults and children alike.
