Slava’s Snowshow
Held in the Royal Festival Hall, Slava’s Snowshow is a classic family show both comedic and thrilling. Slava is called “the best clown in the world” and is known for his bizarre pantomimes. The show is very interactive and will keep everyone on their edge of their seats. It is best suited to over eights and tickets range from £20 to £65. Slava’s Snowshow will take place from 17 December to 6 January 2014.
The Chocolate Festival
This is a chocolate lover’s dream come true – young and old. Situated outdoors with brilliant views of the Thames, there will be plenty of delicious chocolates from the likes of L’Artisan du Chocolat, Rococo and Duffy’s Red Star Chocolate. Mix it up and try brownies, chocolate cakes and churros, or stock up on Christmas-themed chocolate gifts. Make it a learning experience and attend a Masters of Chocolate Masterclass or watch demonstrations and take part in a quiz. The Chocolate Festival will take place from 13 to 15 December.
