What’s on in Hemel Hempstead this Christmas?

There’s nothing more festive than a town centre decked out in Christmas lights and decorations. Hemel Hempstead is no exception and the town is also playing host to a wide variety of attractions over the Christmas period. Highlights include:

• Grammy award-winning jazz saxophonist Jean Toussaint is appearing at The Old Town Hall on Thursday December 18. Born in the US Virgin Islands and raised in New York, Jean began his international career as a member of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers in 1982.
• Comedian and actress Sara Pascoe is taking to the stage at The Old Town Hall on Saturday December 20. The star of Stand up for the Week, The Thick of It, Mock the Week and Twenty Twelve is performing in her first ever UK tour.
• Hans Christian Anderson’s fairy tale The Snow Queen is being performed by Image Musical Theatre at The Old Town Hall from 21st December to 24th December. Billed as a “participation musical” the show is a wonderful pre-Christmas treat for the whole family.
• For those who like snow with their Christmas a visit to The Snow Centre is a must. The indoor skiing and snowboarding centre has a huge 160m main slope as well as the largest indoor lesson slope in the UK.

Hemel Hempstead also has an ice rink, cinema and a wide choice of shops. Last minute Christmas purchases can be made in either the Old High Street (perfect for antiques) or the Marlowes Shopping Centre which is based in the heart of the town. There are also a number of major retailers in the nearby Riverside Development. Market lovers can choose from the antiques market on Wednesdays and a general market which opens from Thursday to Saturday.

There is a wide selection of restaurants in the town ranging from traditional cosy tea rooms to contemporary international eateries. Nightlife lovers are also catered for with a number of clubs including The Function Rooms and Verve Bar Club and Lounge.
