Expect a fast moving festive celebration of non-stop singing, dancing, music, humour and variety at Thursford's annual Christmas Spectacular, set in the magical surroundings of mechanical organs and fairground carousels! With a cast of 130 (many straight out of the West End!) it is the biggest Christmas show of its kind in Europe! Expect seasonal hits, chart toppers and traditional carols.

The show first opened its doors in 1977 and has successfully run every year since, performing to over six million happy visitors! The show got even bigger in 2023 following the installation of a state-of-the-art sound system along with new costumes, routines and acts, and the last five years have been complete sell-outs! Thursford are proud winners of Best Christmas Experience 2024 and 2025 at the GLT Awards and picked up Best Group Friendly Large Attraction at the 2025 Group TravelWorld Awards.
