Experience a magical Christmas celebration at Hever Castle’s Festival Theatre this December. With sparkling performances, festive dinners, and exclusive access to the Hever Castle Twilight Christmas experience, this promises to be a truly memorable event for all.

A festive celebration in the Guthrie Pavilion

Set in the beautifully decorated Guthrie Pavilion, the Christmas festivities kick off with a warm welcome and a complimentary drink. Guests enjoy seating with friends and family on tables of 8-10, making for a cosy and sociable evening. Christmas dinner is before the first half of the show, and pudding in the interval. A delightful feast alongside top-tier entertainment.

A dazzling line-up of tribute acts

For the first time, The Festival Theatre brings a Christmas twist to its popular summer performances, featuring unforgettable tributes to Frank Sinatra, The Jersey Boys, and Tom Jones. Each act brings festive charm with a blend of classic hits and beloved Christmas songs, perfect for capturing the magic of the season.

• Andrew Bourn as Sinatra at Christmas
  Thursday 28 November, 12pm & 7pm
  Andrew Bourn, known from Britain’s Got Talent and performances at the Royal Albert Hall, brings Sinatra’s classics to life with festive favourites like Winter Wonderland, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and All I Want for Christmas is You. Andrew’s show combines Sinatra’s smooth charm with holiday cheer, making it a standout event.
• The West End Jerseys Christmas Show
  Thursday 5 December, 7pm
  Bringing the sound of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, The West End Jerseys fill the Pavilion with iconic hits such as Beggin’, Sherry, and Oh What a Night. Guests attending on 5th December also gain exclusive access to the Hever Castle Twilight Christmas light extravaganza before the show, perfect for a pre-show wander through the illuminated gardens.
• Simon Howard as Christmas with Tom Jones
