The biggest Christmas Spectacular in Europe returns for the 48th time! Come and enjoy the amazing abilities of a cast of 130 of the West Ends best singers, dancers, musicians and performers in November 2025. Over the three hour extravaganza, set in the magical surroundings of mechanical organs and fairground carousels, you will enjoy this festive celebration of music, singing, dancing, variety and humour. This fast moving celebration of the season artfully combines famous chart-toppers performed with more traditional carols and year-round favourites. Woods are proud to host four tours that include the Thursford Spectacular this year. Each hotel has been chosen for its comfort and style, along with convenience to the show and includes a local excursion. Tickets sell out every year, so be quick to get your seat booked soon!
