Bromsgrove might be feeling the winter chill, but it’s warm and festive at Artrix!

In a break from the tradition of the last few years, staff are taking this year’s festivities inside to the warmth of the foyer and stage, as Artrix hosts a Winter Weekender of festive family events, live music, food and good cheer.

The Winter Weekender festivities begin on Saturday 7th December from 11am, with a fun-filled family day inspired by the festive classic The Polar Express. Come dressed in your pyjamas and be whisked away on a magical adventure to the North Pole with a screening of the much-loved film, a free hot chocolate for every child, followed by festive music and activities in the foyer. Tickets are £7 for adults, £5 for children or £20 for a family of four. 

Later the same day, Artrix welcomes legendary folk collective, Quill, for their Christmas Concert. From 8pm, lead vocalist Joy Strachan-Brain heads up the seven piece band in an eclectic mix of Christmas favourites. Expect stylish covers of well-known Christmas songs, plus originals, with tickets priced at £20 each.

On the evening of Sunday 8th December, Cara Dillon returns to with her Christmas show; Upon A Winter’s Night at 8pm. Cara and her band will once again capture the mystery of Christmas with a collection of songs, ancient and modern, providing a welcome reminder that the festive season can be about more than just commercialism. Tickets for Cara Dillon are £23.50 each.

There will also be the very best in festive films from the latest releases, including Frozen 2, to Hollywood classics like Singing In The Rain and Calamity Jane.
