Frequently Asked Questions
Is the performance suitable for small children?
Our performances are suitable for age 3+. Occasionally children may become fractious during the performance, so we ask parents and carers to be considerate of others by temporarily leaving the audience area.
I need to ask about personal assistance and accessibility
We offer a personal assistance scheme which enables those coming to an event in need of assistance to claim a ticket for a personal assistant at no charge. Wheelchair spaces are available by request. This can be requested by contacting the ticket issuer for a particular venue (see below).
Is The Snowman the only thing?
No, The Snowman is just the second half! In the first half there is a screening of Aardman’s Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers with live orchestra, premiered by Carrot Productions as part of our The Snowman Tour 2023.
Which orchestra is playing?
The Picture House Orchestra – comprising musicians hand-picked from top UK orchestras including the Hallé and BBC Philharmonic amongst others.
