Nutcracker

English National Ballet brings Clara's festive adventure to life at the London Coliseum this Christmas.

Nutcracker returns to the London Coliseum for the festive season, with English National Ballet following young Clara and her enchanted doll on a fantastical journey through Tchaikovsky's much-loved score. It's a classic Christmas outing for families, with the production running across several weeks over the Christmas and New Year period. The run starts on 17 December 2026 and continues through to 10 January 2027, giving plenty of chance to catch a performance over the school holidays. Check the London Coliseum website for specific performance dates, times and ticket prices.
