Watch a special family screening of Raymond Briggs’ The Snowman, with live brass band accompaniment from The KNDS Fairey Band. Plus, other festive musical magic!

Universally loved, the Oscar-nominated 1982 animated film, created from Raymond Briggs's 1978 wordless picture book, is a firm favourite. See it on the big screen with incredible live accompaniment from one of the most successful contesting bands in the world!

Founded by employees at the Fairey Aviation Works in 1937, The KNDS Fairey Band remains rooted in Stockport and committed to the highest level of music-making. Fairey has won every elite event on the brass-band calendar, including the National Championships nine times and the British Open sixteen times!
