WELCOME
Welcome to our Christmas season and our winter/spring programme.
We hope you’ll find plenty to enjoy in the months ahead, from festive celebrations to inspiring live events. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a very happy and peaceful Christmas, and to thank you for your wonderful support throughout the year.
As always, The Forum has an exciting array of shows on offer - we always try to provide something for everyone, and I hope you’ll discover performances you’ll enjoy.
We’re closing our Christmas programme in style with the Royal Marines, which is always a highlight. In the new year we’re thrilled to welcome the legendary Damon Hill from Formula 1, and there’s more to come - do keep an eye on our website for new announcements after this brochure has gone to print.
Personally, I’m especially looking forward to Emilio Santoro as Elvis, and very excited to be hosting Russell Howard in February. And that’s just the beginning - there’s so much more to share!
For now, from myself and all the team here at The Forum, I wish you a very happy Christmas.
Best wishes, Bryn
