A CLASSIC Christmas film will be performed by Wantage Silver Band next month.

With the loss of Raymond Briggs in August this year, the band felt it would be appropriate to perform a live soundtrack to the 1982 British animated film, The Snowman.

The performances will take place on Saturday, December 3rd and Sunday, December 4 at The Beacon in The Portway.

Audiences will also hear the band perform other festive favourites such as Jingle Bells, Frosty The Snowman and music from the blockbuster Frozen 2. Each performance will last an hour.

Tickets cost £12 for adults, £8 for children and under two-year-olds go free.
