About this experience
Book The Snowman tickets in London Buy The Snowman tickets for London and see a brand-new Birmingham Repertory Theatre and Sadler's Wells production of Raymond Briggs' picture book at the Peacock Theatre. Official dates are 21 November 2026 to 3 January 2027. This is not a recycled 55 minute touring cut. Sadler's Wells lists a running time of 1 hour 30 minutes including one 20 minute interval for the new staging, directed and choreographed by Will Tuckett, with production design by Anna Fleischle and puppet design by Tahra Zafar. Howard Blake's score, including Walking in the Air, remains the musical spine. A boy builds a snowman. At night the snowman wakes. They fly. They meet Father Christmas, reindeer and a gathering of snow people under the Northern Lights, then the thaw waits at the edge of the story the way it always has. The new creative team is the reason to read this page again if you last came to the Peacock on a school trip years ago. Tuckett and Fleischle are building a fresh production after a long seasonal residency, not restaging the same photographs. What to expect at the Peacock Theatre Sadler's Wells marks the show suitable for all ages, with children aged 2 and above needing their own ticket. The interval matters for families. You get a first half of garden and magic, a 20 minute reset, then the flight and the North Pole. That is a kinder shape than a continuous hour if you are travelling with a four-year-old who needs the toilet. A relaxed performance is scheduled for Wednesday 2 December 2026 at 2.30pm. An audio described performance and touch tour are scheduled for Saturday 12 December 2026 at 2.30pm. The Peacock Theatre is on Portugal Street, WC2A 2HT, a short walk from Holborn. The house is a dance theatre, so sightlines for flying sequences are part of the point: sit where you can see the air, not only the front edge of the stage. Venue notes live on the Peacock Theatre page. If you want a second festive dance night in the same city, compare Nutcracker at the London Coliseum. For a play with more plot and mince pies, look at A Christmas Carol at The Old Vic. Do not quote Sadler's Wells starting prices as VervTrip prices. Ticket prices and availability vary by performance and seating category. Family ticket deals advertised on the official house site are house offers. What you pay here is the figure shown when you select a date. Weekend and school-holiday slots around Christmas week move first. Planning the visit Morning, afternoon and evening performances are all used across the official calendar, including 11am starts that suit younger children. There are no performances on some Christmas dates, so read the grid rather than assuming every day in late December is lit. Arrive 20 to 30 minutes early. Photography and recording are not permitted during the performance. Switch phones to silent. Latecomers may be held. For a wider London shortlist after you lock a Snowman date, start at the London tickets hub. This is a wordless-leaning dance and puppet story, not a book-musical with dialogue explaining every feeling. Children who already know the film will recognise Walking in the Air. Adults who have not seen a snowman fly in a theatre before should sit far enough back to see the whole picture. If someone in the party needs a less formal room, use the published relaxed performance rather than hoping a packed Saturday night will tolerate a lot of movement in the aisle.
