Solihull Arts Complex

Christmas is only a few weeks away and the festive fun is just beginning at The Core!

A ridiculous night (or afternoon) of fun awaits in the Studio at The Core on Saturday 14 December, as TV and international star Miss Teena Bizkit hosts Teena’s Christmas Tease.

The full-on variety selection box includes a TV & Movies quiz, stand-up comedy, songs, singalong, Play Your Cards Right, plus a huge disco filled Music Bingo. Book your tickets for the matinee or evening shows!

Also on Saturday 14 December, don’t miss festive vibes and Christmas shopping galore at The Core’s free Christmas Market. Browse 30 stalls featuring handmade and artisan goods from small businesses and local artists. Why not stop by the Encore café and try out the new Festive Menu and seasonal treats including roast turkey baps, mulled wine and mince pies!

We’re very excited to welcome Santa’s Christmas Cracker to the Studio at The Core from Friday 20 to Tuesday 24 December – it’s the family show where every child receives a present from Santa! Most performances are now sold out BUT, in the spirit of Christmas Santa has agreed to make an extra appearance in an additional show on Sunday 22 December at 5pm. Tickets are disappearing faster than pigs in blankets at Christmas dinner, so hurry and get them while you can!

Looking for things to do over the Christmas holidays? Unleash your creative side and choose from a range of daytime drawing workshops for adults and children, run by Art at the Heart. Learn how to draw puppies, cats, snow leopards, Harry Potter characters and more!
