WRONG Christmas livestream

‘A CHRISTMAS SPECIAL’
SUNDAY 5th DECEMBER, 2:30pm


The Voice cloud in association with The Seagull Theatre are delighted to present a very special live online performance of a festive show created specifically for care settings and residential homes, funded by The Suffolk Community Foundation.


‘A Christmas Special’ is a professional festive musical show which will be performed at the Seagull Theatre and live-streamed in full 1080p high-definition, available to care and residential homes who would like to watch, free of charge!

Following the popularity of our Christmas livestream in December 2020 which was broadcasted into over 170 care homes across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, we will be performing a brand-new (for 2021) version of the show on Sunday 5th December at 2.30pm!

Please SIGN UP for this free opportunity if you: work in a care home,
know somebody who works in a care home or have a relative who lives in a care home.

‘A Christmas Special’ will recreate the atmosphere of the family-viewing TV specials of the 1950s and ’60s and promote fun, engagement and reminiscence whilst celebrating the very best Christmas songs and holiday music of this bygone era, featuring such festive classics as ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’, ‘White Christmas’, ‘Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire’, ‘It’s Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas’ and ‘Santa Claus is Coming to Town’ among many others.
