Musical that recreates a magical Christmas Eve in a traditional Irish pub, with songs, stories and Irish classics.
Christmas in Ireland comes to the Regent Theatre on Friday 13 November, a musical that puts you inside a traditional Irish pub on a magical Christmas Eve. The room is full of friends old and new gathering to share songs, stories and memories of Christmases gone by, while snow falls outside. It's a night built on that specific kind of pub atmosphere: the music and the chatting go hand in hand, with the musicians playing along as they trade tales with the room.
The setlist draws from a few different places. You'll hear heartwarming renditions of timeless Irish classics, powerful ballads and favourite festive songs, so it's as much about the songs you know as it is about the stories told between them. It comes from the producers of Seven Drunken Nights, and it's been touring the warmth and charm of an Irish Christmas to stages across the UK.
This particular date is a bit of an outlier in the calendar. While it's a Christmas-themed show, this performance is on 13 November, well before the proper festive season kicks in. It's also a standalone date: the Regent Theatre's full 2026/27 Christmas season runs from 11 December 2026 to 3 January 2027, so this is a way to get a taste of it early.
