Christmas - The Candlelight Concert

Xperience Live are bringing Christmas - The Candlelight Concert to Babbacombe Theatre on Saturday 5 December, a night of Christmas classics performed by a live band and singers. The room is lit by the soft glow of countless candles, and the set is built around the sing-along favourites that most of us know by heart.

Among the songs they'll be working through are It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, White Christmas, Santa Baby and Winter Wonderland — the kind of standards that usually form the backdrop of the season. Xperience Live describe it as a sophisticated festive celebration where music, candlelight and holiday wonder come together, with the sing-alongs at the heart of the night. They also mention that some of their concerts take place in historic spaces like cathedrals, minsters and abbeys, where the stone architecture shapes a more atmospheric sound.

The venue is Babbacombe Theatre on Babbacombe Downs, which has been part of the English Riviera for over eighty years and is well known for its family variety shows, especially since Matpro Limited took over in 1986. It's fully accessible, with a disabled toilet, wheelchair spaces and a loop system.

Doors open at 7pm, with the show running from 7:30pm to 9:45pm — last entry is 7:15pm. Tickets are £28 at the box office, £30 by telephone, and £31 online, with a £3 transaction fee for online bookings and £2 for telephone orders; there's no fee when you buy on site.
