The Lock In 'Christmas Carol' 2023
This event is in the past
Half gig, half dance show and half panto! Join the BBC Award Winning team of musicians & dancers for 150% of the very best festive live music, song and dance!
It’s Christmas Eve and the regulars of The Olde Fighting Cocks are excited about the night ahead, it’s going to be the Folk & Hip Hop dance party of the year!
To their dismay the landlady, Jasmineezer Scrooge, has more profitable ambitions and is preparing to launch her new business… the ‘Oompah Techno Bar’! Cheap alco-pops, luminous lighting and mind-numbing bass beats are all in danger of alienating the local community and ruining Christmas!
Fortunately, some insightful souls are at hand to lead her back to her senses.
