2024 Performing Acts
While there may be some much loved, familiar faces, we promise to always bring something new each year – after all, what is Christmas without a few surprises!

TIPS FOR OUR GUESTS
- BIG NEWS: We’re excited to announce that the Cathedral has recently purchased 500 brand new seats which will be in place for this years show. There are 200 cushioned seats making up Tier 1 and new comfortable wooden seats across Tier 2.
- For tier 3 seating, we recommend bringing along a small cushion if you feel the need, particularly those who experience discomfort in their lower back. Unfortunately there are no cushions available from the Cathedral.
- The Cathedral is lit by overhead heaters which we switch on pre-show, at the interval and for various other sections of the show. Due to some lighting states we are required to turn the heaters off which may see a drop in the temperature in the Cathedral. For this reason we recommend wrapping up warm, bringing a few extra layers and even a blanket (a hot water bottle if you want to be really snug!).
We will have teas, coffees and mulled wine before the show and at the interval to also help keep warm.
- There is an accessibility ramp on the left hand side of the audience; we recommend for wheelchair users and those with additional mobility needs to get in touch with us prior to booking your tickets so we can advise on the best seating to have access to these.
There is no tiered seating in the cathedral (price tiers on Eventbrite). Access seats come with complimentary carer ticket and access seats are along the left hand side of the main central seating block on eventbrite. These can be seen on the event map on Eventbrite. This gives easy access to seats and the shortest distance to toilet facilities, whilst being in the warmest part of the Cathedral.
- Limited tickets available to purchase at St Anne’s Cathedral reception for all shows. Reception is open from 10:30am to 4pm Monday to Saturday.
