Event Information
Join Johnny and the Raindrops for their now-legendary Christmas gig – an extra special live festive music event for children and families, lovingly crafted to lift your spirits and send you smiling into the New Year!
We only do one Christmas gig in each year – and this is it!
Over 10,000 people have watched the Raindrops’ Christmas gig over the past 17 years. Make this special show part of your family festivities.
Enjoy a cracker-popping mix of some of the songs from our ‘Christmas is Happening!’ album PLUS loads of family favourites including:
Jingle Bells, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree
Run Rudolph Run, I wish it could be Christmas every day,
and Merry Christmas Everybody.

Our promise to you:
- Cakes for sale!
- A bar all afternoon!
- A venue full of Christmas decorations!
- Kids invited onstage!

As with all of our shows, this one is perfect for anyone who would benefit from a relaxed performance environment. This includes anyone with an autism spectrum condition or learning disability.
- There will be no/very minimal flashing lights during the gig
- The lights in the audience area will stay on for most of the gig
- Audience members can make noise during the show and come and go as they please.
They can run around, sit down, shout, sing, etc.
There are quiet areas just outside of the main concert hall.
Get ready to sing, dance and be merry!
Watch the truly beautiful ‘Shine a light’ video.
Listen to our latest Christmas smash ‘Peace and love this Christmas’.
Invite your friends and family! Make it a big party!
See you up the front!
