We are so excited to be returning to Chipping Sodbury Town Hall for the sixth consecutive year to present a very special matinee performance of one of the UK’s most booked Christmas shows.
Free tickets for the show are only available to Care and Nursing Home residents, Memory Cafe members, and Community Groups supporting those living with dementia in South Gloucestershire.
As one of the most popular festive shows in the country, with an estimated 800 festive performances due to take place this year alone, ‘Countdown to Christmas’ has become a Christmas institution for thousands of the most deserving audience members in the country.

Gala evening performance.
For the sixth consecutive year the Mini Concerts team will be presenting a special ticketed gala performance of our ‘Countdown to Christmas’ show at the wonderfully historic Chipping Sodbury Town Hall, and you could be there to join them!
The show’s performed as the ultimate live ‘Musical’ advent calendar, counting down through some of the greatest Christmas hits ever recorded. Just think of your favourite ‘Now That’s What I call – Christmas’ album, mixed with a sprinkling of ‘Michael Bublé’s Christmas Magic’, all washed down with a liberal glass of Christmas spirit, then you’ll be on the right track!
With something for all the family, from a special ‘Holly Dolly Christmas’ performance by national treasures The D-Day Dollies, to a special appearance by a ‘Cool’ Disney Princess for the young, and young at heart, this fun mix of chart hits and popular Christmas anthems is the perfect way to see in the festive season.
This is one show where singing along and dancing in the aisles isn’t frowned upon… it’s absolutely applauded and encouraged!
Do you know a ‘Grinch’? Then bring them along! Our ‘Christmas Elves’ like a challenge, and they’ll be sure to have them doing the ‘Christmas Conga’ before Santa comes down the chimney for the grand finale.
From Bing Crosby’s ‘White Christmas’ to Mariah Carey’s ‘All I want for Christmas’, and a host of hits in between, there will be something for everyone in this ultimate Christmas musical show.
The only question is, will your festive favourite make it behind that coveted final advent calendar window at the end of the night? Will ‘Slade’ out place ‘Wizard’ in the countdown, and will ‘Band Aid’ beat ‘Chris de Burgh’ when it comes to Santa’s final list? Come along and join the party to find out at Chipping Sodbury Town Hall from 7.45 pm on Friday the 18th December 2026!
