Festive family knees-up

London Museum Docklands — Performance

  • A smiling woman holds a baby dressed in a red outfit, surrounded by a seated group of people.

    Enjoy timeless tunes for the whole family.

Cor blimey, it’s a good old-fashioned festive knees-up!

Sick of the same old Christmas carols? Let the 'King of Singalong' Tom Carradine lead you through festive favourites like White Christmas, All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth and Walking in the Air, as well as getting the audience involved in a right old knees-up from behind his piano.

With bubbles, puppets and plenty of joining in, this festive family knees-up is a lively 45-minute seasonal concert for all ages (recommended 0–7 and their grown-ups).

Grab your nan, bring your kids, don your Christmas jumper and warm up your best singing voice. It’s time to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year – Cockney style!

From the producers of Baby Broadway and Baby Gospel family concerts.
