Step Into Christmas

Step Into Christmas is back at the M&S Bank Arena on Friday 5 December, returning for 2026 after a run that the organisers are calling a sensational one. This year's edition is billed as bigger, brighter and more festive than before, and it's taking place in The Auditorium, the arena's main performance space.

The show is built around Christmas classics delivered by a live band, with the set running from heart-warming ballads to upbeat festive anthems. It's not just about the music, though; there are dazzling performances and festive visuals to go with it. The organisers describe it as the ultimate Christmas night out for music lovers, families and friends, and their most magical show of the year.

If you're bringing the kids, there's one thing to keep in mind: under-14s have to be accompanied by an adult. For getting there, the Kings Dock Car Park is right on site with 1,450 spaces, and every floor has accessible bays and electric charging points, which is handy if you're driving in from further out.

Doors open at 6:30pm and the show starts at 7:30pm. Tickets start from £35.45, which includes the service fee and a £2.95 order processing fee per order.
