Swing into Christmas with The Rat Pack Christmas Concert
At Axminster Guildhall — Thursday 17 December 2026
Doors: 19:00 | Show: 19:30
Tickets: £25
Audiences are invited to swing into the Christmas season with The Rat Pack and their famous Christmas Concert, arriving at Axminster Guildhall on Thursday 17 December 2026 for a glittering festive night of music, style and showmanship.
The Official UK No.1 tribute show — as voted by The Agents’ Association of Great Britain for three successive years — comes direct from London’s Leicester Square Theatre, The O2, and following a Royal Command Performance.
The acclaimed David Alacey (Lovejoy, Inspector Alleyn) stars as Frank Sinatra, alongside West End favourite Tim Harwood as Dean Martin. They are joined by former Coronation Street and Hollyoaks star Ashley Campbell as Sammy Davis Jr in the original Rat Pack show, now celebrating its 25th record-breaking year.
Together, the trio recreate a vintage Christmas at The Sands, transporting audiences to the glamour and excitement of Las Vegas in its heyday. The evening features all the classic hits — including My Way, Mr Bojangles, New York, New York, Amore and Fly Me to the Moon — alongside beloved seasonal favourites such as Winter Wonderland, Let It Snow and White Christmas.
This yuletide treat for all the family also showcases the Buddy Greco All-Stars, led by BBC Musical Director Mac Shone at the piano. The late Buddy Greco — a member of the real Rat Pack in Vegas and close friend of Sinatra — personally endorsed the show, saying:
“These guys are as close as anyone will ever get to my dear friends — it was just like being back at The Sands.”
Greco also makes a specially recorded guest appearance, adding an authentic touch of Rat Pack history to the production.
In true Sands tradition, the show features surprise appearances from iconic stars including Marilyn Monroe, Nancy Sinatra and Liza Minnelli, bringing even more sparkle to this glitzy Christmas spectacular.
Magical Christmas memories really are made of this.
Tickets are £25 and available now.
