How to see Cirque Alice at London's Royal Festival Hall this Christmas as tickets go on sale

London is playing host to a magical new world this Christmas.

Following sold out seasons in Australia and Singapore, the brand-new production Cirque Alice is landing in the UK for its European premiere.

From the creators of the Circus 1903, this show reimagines the world of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland with spectacular acrobats, contortionists, aerialists in more.

Creative Producer Simon Painter said he was incredibly excited to bring Cirque Alice to The Royal Festival Hall for its European premiere. “The tales of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland provide the perfect backdrop to create a magical narrative about a cirque show,” Mr Painter said. "Filled with some of the most eccentric and larger-than-life characters and creations, the original stories have provided such amazing inspiration for this groundbreaking new production.”

While Executive Producer Tim Lawson said: “Cirque Alice is spectacular entertainment that dazzles audiences of all ages – whether you’re on a date night or you want to bring the whole family along – do not miss this performance of jaw dropping acts set around one of the world’s most magical stories."

Here's how to get tickets for the December show.

Is Cirque Alice similar to Cirque du Soleil?

In essence, yes! While Cirque Alice is a completely new show full of contemporary circus acts, it shares Cirque du Soleil's commitment to huge spectacle and a range of performers. Audiences can expect puppetry, aerialists, acrobats, contortionists and so much more, all following an iconic story.

What is Cirque Alice about?

Cirque Alice reimagines Lewis Carroll’s classic adventure, Alice in Wonderland, bringing to life everyone’s favourite characters like Alice herself, the Mad Hatter, White Rabbit and more. It features mesmerising aerialists and acrobats, mind-bending contortionists, exquisite puppetry, special guest musical acts and a soundtrack of newly arranged remixes of classical favourites.

When is Cirque Alice on?

The show will run from 12 December 2026 to 3 January 2027 at London's Royal Festival Hall. The theatre sits on London's Southbank so the best way to get there is to head to Waterloo, available on the Northern, Bakerloo, Jubilee and Waterloo & City lines.
