New festive theatre experience brings magic of an Irish Christmas to Scarborough

Step inside a traditional Irish pub on Christmas Eve, where friends, old and new, gather to share songs, stories and memories of Christmases gone by.

As snow falls outside and the fire burns bright, the evening unfolds through a spectacular celebration of Irish music, festive favourites and the timeless songs that have become part of the soundtrack to Christmas.

From the producers of the hugely successful Seven Drunken Nights, Christmas in Ireland features an outstanding cast of musicians and singers performing live, bringing together powerful Irish ballads, traditional classics, and much-loved Christmas songs.

Audiences can expect to hear favourites including Driving Home for Christmas, Dirty Old Town and the iconic Fairytale of New York, alongside a host of familiar songs and hidden gems guaranteed to have audiences singing along.

But Christmas in Ireland is more than a concert – it is a journey into the warmth and nostalgia of an Irish Christmas and a night of laughter, friendship, memories and music.

Producer and performer, Ged Graham said: “We wanted to create a Christmas show that feels like walking into your favourite Irish pub on Christmas Eve; somewhere full of warmth, laughter, music, and memories.

"Christmas in Ireland is a celebration of everything we love about an Irish Christmas, from the great songs and stories to that wonderful sense of community where, before long, everyone in the room feels like an old friend.

"We’re incredibly excited to bring this show to audiences and hope it becomes a new festive tradition for families and friends across the UK.”

With its combination of live music, infectious energy, heartfelt storytelling and plenty of Irish humour, Christmas in Ireland promises to be the perfect festive night out for audiences of all ages.
