...the show where every child gets a present from Santa!

Following last year’s sell-out performances of Santa’s Christmas Wish, Honalee Media are delighted to present their next hit Santa Show this Christmas…

It really is the most wonderful time of the year, so it’s no surprise that everyone at the North Pole is super-excited as Christmas draws near!

Father Christmas is busy making toys, Dotty the Elf is decorating the Christmas tree and Dasher the Reindeer is getting presents onto his sleigh -but then they meet a lost penguin who has never even heard of Christmas…

Impossible! But how to teach him all about Christmas?
Dare they open the door marked For Christmas Emergencies Only? And can you help unleash the magic of Christmas by pulling one of Santa’s Christmas Crackers?

Join Father Christmas and friends for a fun, festive, musical adventure to discover the wonder of Christmas - you may even get to pull a cracker with Dotty the Elf!

Santa’s Christmas Cracker is a 45 minute, interactive family show, particularly suitable for 2-8 year olds. Afterwards the adventure continues as each child gets to meet Father Christmas and receive a specially wrapped present from him - it’s the most Christmassy Christmas show ever, HO-HO-HO!

Songs include festive favourites:
Jingle Bells, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, The Twelve Days Of Christmas, Deck The Halls, We Wish You A Merry Christmas and many more!

The band have achieved a huge amount of success over recent years. Three appearances at The British Open in 2022, 2023 and 2024, regional success in Swansea in March 2024, followed by National Championship glory in September 2024 and are looking forward to returning to the Championship Section in 2025, with many new c musical initiatives planned.

In 1892 a group of young men met in Soughton (Sychdyn) village in North Wales and committed to play in a band together for one year. Within 2 years the band had relocated to nearby village of Northop and a bass drum, still found in the current bandroom, has the inscription ‘Northop 1894’. No written records have been found of these early years, with the first known contest success being in Flint in 1921. At the time the band rehearsed in The Boot Inn in Northop which still retains s close association.

In 1969 a junior band played its first contest, and the organisation continues to run two other bands. Northop Brass and a Sunday community band. Membership is available to anyone in the community who wishes to come along to play a brass or percussion instrument. All bands regularly hold concerts in the bandroom for the residents to attend and to raise funds to help run and maintain the facility. Many players from the organisation have progressed to music conservatoires, teaching and careers in the Forces.

Instead, for reasons known only to him, he doubles down on his fascination with the meaningless small things of life like Zoom protocol, what’s new in the world of radiators and the worst careers advice office in the world.

Join Jack as he guides you through his varied life and career with his customary charm and well known gift for talking absolute rubbish on any given subject.

The Dawn of Impressionism: Paris, 1874

Directed by Ali Ray - Produced by Phil Grabsky

The Impressionists are the most popular group in art history - millions flock every year to marvel at their masterpieces. But, to begin with, they were scorned, penniless outsiders. 1874 was the year that changed everything; the first Impressionists, “hungry for independence”, broke the mould by holding their own exhibition outside official channels. Impressionism was born and the art world was changed forever.

What led to that first groundbreaking show 150 years ago? Who were the maverick personalities that wielded their brushes in such a radical and provocative way? The spectacular Musée d’Orsay exhibition brings fresh eyes to this extraordinary tale of passion and rebellion. The story is told not by historians and curators but in the words of those who witnessed the dawn of Impressionism: the artists, press and people of Paris, 1874. See the show that changed everything on the big screen.

Made in close collaboration with the Musee d’Orsay and National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.

Michelangelo - Love & Death

Directed by David Bickerstaff - Produced by Phil Grabsky

The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us, but what do we really know about this Renaissance giant? Michelangelo’s genius is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and diverse works such as the towering statue of David, the moving Pietà in the Papal Basilica of St. Peter and his tour-de-force, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, still leave us breathless today. 

Spanning his 88 years, Michelangelo - Love and Death takes a cinematic journey through the print and drawing rooms of Europe through the great chapels and museums of Florence, Rome and the Vatican to seek out a deeper understanding of this legendary figure’s tempestuous life, his relationship with his contemporaries and his incredible legacy. 

Through expert commentary, stunning visuals and Michelangelo’s own words, this film takes a fresh look at a master artist whose life and genius are celebrated in every mark he made. Returning to cinemas in 2025 to celebrate this iconic artist’s 550th birthday.

Sculptor, painter, architect, poet, genius - discover why Michelangelo is without a doubt one of the greatest artists of all time.
