A hit Irish Christmas concert is set to embark on its biggest ever tour this winter and is coming to Sussex.

The A Fairytale for Christmas concert will play at over 50 venues across the UK and Ireland in 2025, including Brighton and Eastbourne.

After four sell-out tours, the concert is set to tour from Friday, October 31 to Monday, December 22 in what is expected to be its largest audience yet.

A Fairytale for Christmas will be at the Theatre Royal Brighton, New Road, on Sunday, November 9 and Monday, November 10.

It will also be at the Congress Theatre, Eastbourne, on December 21.

Performances promise a blend of traditional Christmas cheer with the lively spirit of St Patrick's Day.

Audiences can look forward to festive classics like I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day, Step into Christmas, and O Holy Night, alongside Irish folk tunes like The Irish Rover and Dirty Old Town.

The season's festivities will be brought to life by an impressive line-up of singers, musicians and dancers.

Produced by Prestige Productions, A Fairytale for Christmas is from the team behind crowd-pleaser 'Seven Drunken Nights – The Story of the Dubliners'.

In 2024, the show experienced tremendous success with over 200,000 tickets sold across 133 shows in five countries.

This year, it is set to be bigger than before, with simultaneous performances happening in various locations across the UK and Ireland.

Writer and director Ged Graham said: "When people ask me to describe Fairytale I tell them. What would happen if St Patrick’s Day collided with the best Christmas party you ever had?" "A Fairytale for Christmas of course it’s the ultimate Irish inspired Christmas celebration and a craic-ker of a show"
