In this festive episode of Focus, we speak with Ben Allen, Marketing and PR Manager at Thursford, home of one of Europe’s biggest Christmas show. Ben gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how the Thursford Christmas Spectacular is created each year — from early planning and London auditions to the huge cast of 120 performers, a live 32-piece orchestra, and over 80 musical numbers.

He shares what makes the show so special, why audiences return year after year, his own personal highlights from this season, and tips for making the most of a visit.
