The Snowman

2018 marks the 40^th anniversary of The Snowman.
The Snowman is a short film based on a book of the same name written by Raymond Briggs.
In the film, a boy makes a snowman on Christmas Eve after heavy snow fall. At midnight the snowman comes to life. The boy invites the snowman into his house and they play around with toys, clothing, and appliances. Afterwards, the snowman begins to fly with the boy and takes him to the north pole. During this part of the film, the song ‘Walking in the air’ is sung. At the north pole, the boy is taken to see Father Christmas who gives him a gift and shows him the reindeer.

During the flight they go over various real-life landmarks, some of which are in Brighton. The local landmarks are the Royal Pavilion, the West Pier, and the South Downs.

Brighton at Christmastime

Over the Christmas period, Brighton hosts a wide variety of events.

Each year an ice skating rink is set up outside the Royal Pavilion. The ice rink looks most impressive at night when the Pavilion is lit up.

Throughout the city, there are plenty of Christmas lights and trees. At the lights turn-on event, there is a party in East Street, where you will find many family-friendly activities such as carol singing, and entertainment.
