The festive feeling returns as Christmas in Leicester Square transforms the famous square in the centre of London into a wintery wonderland. There's a traditional Christmas market with stalls selling hand-crafted goods and delicious food and drinks. The man with all the presents takes up residence in Santa's grotto where children can meet the man himself, plus La Clique brings a whole host of shows to the beautiful surrounds of a traditional 1920s spiegeltent. Returning to the West End for the first time in more than a decade the variety show features an all-star cast including cabaret sensation and MC Bernie Dieter, gentleman juggler Florian Brooks, the fire-breathing, sword-swallowing Heather Holliday and aerialist Stephen Williams performing the Bath Boy act. For families, there's Captain Flinn and The Pirate Dinosaurs, a Journey through Jazz, Kids of the West End, Fun Kids Epic Roadshow, Showstoppers Kids Show and Shlomo's Beatbox Adventure for Kids. As well as an eight-week residency with appearances by Jess Robinson, Spice Gals and the Puppini Sisters, La Clique will be performing a one-off New Year's Eve Spectacular with a post-show party until 2am.
