Christmas Singalong on the Tea Lawn at Lauderdale House

We’re thrilled to invite you back to the Tea Lawn this Christmas! Join us for some festive fun as we sing through seasonal favourites with the help of professional singers and our resident pianist, Stephen Hose.

This is an outdoor event, and chairs will be provided. Our café will be open selling holiday treats including mulled wine. We encourage wearing lots of layers and blankets, and make sure to bring wet weather gear if rain is forecast. Bring a lantern or torch along if you have one and help us light up the Tea Lawn!

 

FAQs

Are babies welcome?

We are happy for you to bring young ones! You do not need to book a ticket for children under 2 years old.

 

What if I don’t know any songs?

If you book a ticket, we will send you a PDF of the song sheet a few days before the show, as well as uploading it here. If you can, please download the PDF and use your phone or tablet to read it, as this is more ecologically friendly. If you can’t, not to worry, we will have hard copy carol sheets available at the box office to collect when you arrive.

 

Can I come on my own?

Yes! Everyone is welcome, whether alone or with family and friends.

 

Is it wheelchair accessible?

If you or your children are in a wheelchair please call us and we’ll discuss what we can do to make sure you get the best experience.

Where can I get free tickets?

Right here!

Whilst entry is free, we recommend booking to ensure we can accommodate for the number of attendees and please consider making a donation if you are able.

Told from the perspective of Scrooge’s deceased business partner, this multi award-winning stage adaptation has been hailed as the “definitive telling of A Christmas Carol” (Redditch Standard), and rated as one of “the top Christmas shows in London, Edinburgh and around the UK” (High 50 Culture). Recognised by Queen Elizabeth II for its part in Dickensian Scholarship, this “forcefully compelling masterpiece” (Manx Independent) delivers thrills, chills and excitement aplenty for all ages.

 

Jacob Marley is dead and condemned to an eternity of carrying a heavy chain, forged in life; a life to which he can no longer return except to recount the tale of his miserly business partner, Ebenezer Scrooge, and the path that lead to his redemption. Through Marley’s words, we learn how three magical spirits opened Scrooge’s eyes and made him realise the true value of love and forgiveness.
