Join us on a visit to The Thursford Spectacular, a world-renowned Christmas variety show held annually in an otherwise sleepy village in Norfolk. Known for its extravagant performances, it combines stunning music, dance, and theatre with a magical festive atmosphere. Featuring a huge cast of talented singers, dancers, and musicians – many from West End stages - this fast-moving three-hour celebration of the season artfully combines famous chart-toppers performed with more traditional carols and year-round favourites. The Spectacular has become a highlight of the holiday season, offering audiences a memorable experience with its blend of traditional Christmas themes and dazzling entertainment, drawing visitors from all over the world. Woods are proud to host four Thursford holidays this year, each lasting four days and featuring a different hotel and itinerary.
