The Snow Queen

Wrap up warm and immerse yourself in the classic winter tale of The Snow Queen, with festive cheer, comedy and live music in the open-air performances in the stunning setting of Beaulieu Abbey.

A magical walk-around production beneath the stars, with mulled wine and mince pies to keep away the winter’s chill, let the world-class cast of West End actors lead you on a route around the Abbey ruins, as they tell Hans Christian Andersen’s classic story, as part of a heart-warming show that all the family will love.

“The Snow Queen is a myth that has evolved down the centuries and it’s a wonderful quest story. Gerda, the heroine, goes on a quest to find her friend Kai, who has been kidnapped by the Snow Queen. The quest fits beautifully into the setting, because it’s a promenade show.
So as Gerda goes off on her journey, the audience are physically going off on the journey with her. Wrap up like you’re going on a winter walk for an hour and come here, where you can have mulled wine and keep moving to keep warm.”
Abbey Wright - director
