‘We don’t have to tell you it is the best show ever, you tell us it is year after year!!’
  Thirty years ago against the backdrop of steam engines,mechanical organs and fairground rides a small Christmas show took place, with eight choral scholars from Kings College,Cambridge singing a selection of John Rutter carols. It has now grown into the largest Christmas show in England. The ultimate musical experience is simply one of the most exciting Christmas Spectacular shows ever.

It is the most popular Christmas Show of all time in England and is a blend of exciting Christmas entertainment with Christmas songs, carols, dazzling dancers, beautiful costumes, outstanding music and singing from a cast of over one hundred, which would grace any of London’s West End theatres. Thursford museum, in the tranquil setting of a small Norfolk village, takes you back to a traditional old-fashioned fairground where majestic steam engines sit next to carousel rides and mechanical organs. Traditional Norfolk buildings have been transformed into Dickensian style gift shops, coffee shop, famous Christmas shops and a large theatre. Year after year all 76 shows are sold out a year in advance; don’t miss your chance to see the greatest Christmas show ever!
