AN Irish Christmas show is returning to Clacton for the festive season.

A Fairytale for Christmas is coming back to the Princes Theatre in Clacton at 7.30pm on Thursday, November 20.

The concert, from the producers of Seven Drunken Nights - The Story of the Dubliners, celebrates both the festive season and the spirit of Irish culture.

Audience members will have the opportunity to hear renditions of Christmas favourites like Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, Step into Christmas, O Holy Night, and The Fairytale of New York.

The concert is also a tribute to Irish culture with songs such as The Galway Girl, The Irish Rover, Dirty Old Town, and The Black Velvet Band - aiming to recreate the feeling of a St Patrick's Day party on Christmas Day.

The production has had four back-to-back sell-out tours and successful runs in the USA and Europe.

A spokesperson said: "This show is in no way based on, endorsed by, or affiliated or associated with the song titled Fairytale of New York, the Pogues, or Shane MacGowan (or their respective representatives)."

Tickets are available from the Princes Theatre website.
