Paddington Bear’s First Concert at Christmas

Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra

Join the Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra for a magical festive treat, perfect for families and children of all ages!  Led by guest conductor Helen Harrison, this joyful hour of music features seasonal favourites, sparkling storytelling, and one very special bear.

The highlight being the story of Paddington Bear’s First Concert, with narrator Eleanor Mooney bringing to life the much-loved tale of how Paddington’s musical adventure begins — full of charm, laughter, and marmalade.

The fun continues with Leroy Anderson’s classics Sleigh Ride, Christmas Festival, and the toe-tapping Bugler’s Holiday, plus a heart-warming medley of traditional carols by Dorothy Parke.

Whether it’s your little one’s first concert or a festive tradition in the making, come and share the magic of live music this Christmas.
