Imperial Classical Ballet: The Nutcracker at Storyhouse

Imperial Classical Ballet: The Nutcracker at Storyhouse is on Thursday 5 November 2026, 7.30pm. £28-£47 (Storyhouse members £25.35-£42.45), book ahead, best for older children, indoors.

Imperial Classical Ballet's touring Nutcracker comes to Storyhouse's main theatre for one evening, with Tchaikovsky's score played by a full live orchestra. It follows Clara and her Nutcracker Prince from the Christmas Eve party to the Kingdom of Sweets. The show lasts about 1 hour 50 minutes with an interval and starts at 7.30pm, so it suits children old enough to sit through a full-length ballet.
