Live ABBA sing-along tribute show performed by candlelight in Derby Cathedral.
ABBA Christmas by Candlelight comes to Derby Cathedral on Friday 20 November, with the show starting at 7:30pm. It's a live sing-along performed by candlelight in the cathedral, with one of the UK's leading ABBA tribute acts, ABBA Reunion, leading the way from the front.
The set leans on the band's biggest hits, and you'll recognise them as soon as they start. 'Mamma Mia', 'Voulez-Vous', 'Thank You for the Music', 'Dancing Queen', 'Honey, Honey', 'Super Trouper' and 'Money, Money, Money' are all on the list, so the sing-along part is a good description of what's in store. The organisers bill it as the 'ultimate ABBA celebration'.
There are a few practical things to keep in mind before you book. Seating is on pews and allocated on a first-come-first-served basis within each block, and a licensed bar is open on the night. If you're looking at the balcony, it's not suitable for anyone with access requirements, front-row balcony seats are for over-16s only and dancing is prohibited up there. There are limited wheelchair spaces available.
