Across the county we’ve got some amazing upcoming events that are not to be missed throughout the winter season. So, before the clock strikes midnight on New Years Eve, let’s see where we can catch a play or two, or sing and dance the night away at a wonderful music event here in Kent.
As there’s so much going on, it would be rude to miss out those events you can catch in the New Year. So be sure to get your pencil and diaries at the ready to mark in some important dates.
Canterbury Cathedral Events Programme
Canterbury Cathedral are gifting you with a magical guide this Christmas, full of exciting events and family activities for you to take part in before the New Year. From free events throughout December including music and family craft activities, to free exhibitions and tours.
On November 10th there will be a special War Horse Concert with music and songs from the National Theatre production, as Michael Morpurgo retells an abridged version of War Horse accompanied by Ben Murray.
What else is on in Canterbury?
Canterbury has got it all going on over the next couple of months, with some amazing events lined-up in the city. Gulbenkian Arts Centre has some great live events coming up, from powerful productions to comedy shows and more! Speaking of productions, we couldn’t forget about the Marlowe Theatre and all there is to see before the New Year. Expect to find more comedy shows, tributes, and of course the popular pantomime that we all love to see around Christmas.
We’re stepping out of the city and heading for the Kings Hall in Herne Bay to see what’s on. From 80s night to all things Christmas, and that’s before the New Year has even begun!
