The Snowman and The Bear sees Bath Philharmonia setting course for its annual trip to the North Pole just in time to see the Northern Lights, meet Father Christmas and have a dance with a snowman or two.

The Snowman has become an unparalleled Christmas tradition, and The Bear is a perfect counterpart telling the story of Tilly’s attempts to help an escaped polar bear return home. This magical double bill is the perfect Christmas treat for all the family with Bath Philharmonia playing Howard Blake’s scores live to Raymond Briggs’ amazing animations.
