Could it be magic? Inspiring Christmas gift ideas from the Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall

A gift voucher or membership opens up a fantastic variety of unforgettable experiences for your friends and family to enjoy throughout the year at the Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham

For anyone who loves a night out, a gift voucher for the Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall would make the perfect Christmas gift, giving them the opportunity to enjoy the biggest and best shows coming to Nottingham in 2026. Or, if they come to the theatre regularly, a gift membership from £30 gives priority booking, tickets discounts, special offers and other benefits throughout the year.

If there’s an event you know they would love, or you would like to give them some inspiration for what to see, here’s a selection of fabulous shows coming soon to the Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall. It might be just the ticket for your family and friends this Christmas!

For families, there’s still time to catch this year’s smash hit pantomime, Cinderella (until 4 Jan) or the hilarious and heartwarming Horrible Christmas (27 Dec). Also perfect for the whole family, the truly magical Varna International Ballet (12 to 14 Jan), frozen circus wonderland Cirque Enchantment (21 Feb), and Disney: The Sound of Magic (23 Feb) will spark imaginations and make memories that last a lifetime.

And little ones get to join the fun, too, with the return of the live stage show Bluey’s Big Play (26 Feb to 1 Mar), a mischievous musical based on Roald Dahl’s The Enormous Crocodile (2-5 Jul) and the world’s favourite family musical Annie (1 to 6 Sep).

For musical theatre fans, there’s a dazzling choice of award-winning West End and Broadway hit shows coming next year. Sunny Afternoon (17 to 21 Feb), charting the euphoric hights and agonising lows of The Kinks, the legendary Miss Saigon (24 Mar to 4 Apr), fierce and fabulous Priscilla Queen of the Desert (28 Apr to 2 May), original Tony® Award-winning sensation Jersey Boys (30 Jun to 4 Jul), breathtakingly romantic thriller The Bodyguard (13 to 18 Jul), huge London hit Operation Mincemeat (20 Jul to 1 Aug), and irresistibly funny musical comedies Waitress (10 to 15 Aug), Mamma Mia! (29 Sep to 10 Oct), and Mean Girls (3 to 7 Nov) would all make an extraordinary gift for any theatre fan.

For drama fans, why not treat them to the dark humour and stiletto-sharp suspense of Single White Female (20 to 24 Jan), the must-see new production of RSC’s Hamlet (17 to 21 Mar), a thrilling crime-solving adventure in Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile (14 to 18 Apr) or the National Theatre’s inventive, gripping and groundbreaking The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time (13 to 17 Oct).

Whatever they are into, from headline comedians like Sara Pascoe (13 Feb) to world-class dance from Strictly The Professionals (26 May), or legendary music from The Sensational 60s Experience (31 May) to rock anthems celebrated in Steve Steinman’s Vampires Rock Eternal Love The Musical (11 Apr), there’s a perfect gift idea to suit everyone at the Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall Nottingham.

Gift vouchers are available to purchase online or over the phone on 0115 989 5555 in any denomination. An e-voucher will be sent to the purchaser via email within 24 hours of purchase.
