In the latest instalment of C.S Lewis's famous Narnia series, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their cousin Eustace, royal friend King Caspian, find themselves swallowed into a painting and onto the spectacular Dawn Treader. The fate of Narnia itself rests on the success of their mission, which takes the courageous voyagers to mysterious islands, a pool that turns anything it touches into gold and fateful confrontations with sinister enemies. ...

Dividing audiences around the UK this show from Jim Jefferies shall not leave you disappointed. He's clocked up five Edinburgh fringe sell-out shows, numerous TV appearances and his own HBO comedy special. Never afraid to court controversy, playing up the alluring persona of a hard-drinking rock and roll comic trampling over society's niceties. This is not just a one dimensional performance with flat lined gags and easy punch lines. He perhaps uses hard-edged, uncomplicated foul-mouthed rants to show he is a showman without boundaries. Audiences will then get see what's behind this as he delves into topics such as atheism, his depression, dependence on booze, entertaining the troops in Iraq and losing his virginity. Prepare for the unexpected the Jim Jefferies. http://bit.ly/fPDx01 Special event: Merry Kissmas
When it comes to Christmas, we're doling out, in the words of Led Zeppelin, a whole lotta love this year. The Merry Kissmas theme for the holiday season is all about bringing people together and features, at its heart, the UK's first ever interactive Christmas tree ‘KISS'. The idea is based on human touch - making a connection - is what helps to power the tree's lights. KISS is activated when two people hold the mistletoe under the tree and kiss. The electricity of their touch spectacularly lights up 50,000 red and white LED lights, creating a sensational light installation. http://bit.ly/fnOnx4 Dance: Peter and The Wolf: Tales of Beatrix Potter
This ballet was created in 1971 for a children's film and still has a timeless quality about it. The story is taken from several of Beatrix Potter's books and includes the characters of Peter Rabbit, the Foxy Gentleman, Jemima Puddle Duck, Mr Jeremy Fisher, and Squirrel Nutkin, plus many more absurdely named creatures. This is English eccentricity at its best, and the dancing is divine, with each character looking convincingly animalistic. http://bit.ly/htIqu9 Film: White Christmas
This seasonal musical classic stars Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye as two ex-servicemen who create a successful Broadway musical. They pick up two girls along the way (Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen) who they include in the show. The film is very much a warm fuzzy chance to throw a lot of Technicolor and musical numbers together. It features favourite songs such as 'Sisters', and of course, the timeless classic 'White Christmas' sung by Crosby. A dead cert to get you in the Christmas spirit. http://bit.ly/dEel86 Get Into London Theatre

Alan Ayckbourn - the king of English stage comedy in the '70s. He's been somewhat out of fashion these past two decades, not helped by a slew of unsatisfying forays into sci-fi. But Seasons Greetings remains evergreen - a viciously funny expose of the miseries of an average family Christmas: the cheating at snakes and ladders, the fighting over comic books, bungled infidelities beneath the tree. Add a sprinkle of some of the UK's finest current comedy talent to the cast - including Catherine Tate, Katherine Parkinson of The IT Crowd, and The League of Gentlemen's Mark Gatiss - and this production will doubtless feel as cutting-edge as a Christmas pud spiked with razor-sharp lucky charms. http://bit.ly/ifqGlC Music: Martina Topley-Bird
Martina Topley-Bird first rose to fame when she collaborated with hip-hop star Tricky in the late 1990s. Since their falling out towards the end of the decade, she has popped up now and again, releasing her debut album in 2003, and her second one 'The Blue God' in 2008, with single 'Poison' garnering some mini-success in the indie charts. Since then, she has worked with mega-stars Massive Attack on their latest album, lending her smooth vocals to a few of their tracks, which knit quite well together. She has now released a third album, and is now on a tour of Europe where she is making a stop-off in London. This is a rare and unique chance to see such an obscure talented artist. http://bit.ly/fJUSBK .David Walliams: Billionaire Boy
Funnyman David Walliams is signing copies of his new book Billionaire Boy at Selfridges. Following on from the success of 'Little Britain' with comedy partner Matt Lucas, Walliams has teamed up with legendary illustrator Quentin Blake to create a series of amusing stories including 'The Boy In The Dress' and 'Mr Stink'. The latest in the series follows Billionaire Boy as he realises that even though he has it all, he still isn't happy. Come and get your copy emblazoned with Walliam's signature before it's too late. http://bit.ly/eojQVc The English Vernacular: A Celebration of Swearing and Profanity
Swearing. We all do it, whether curse words are part of our everyday vocabulary, or an occasional outburst when we drop something heavy on our toes. This talk will discover the naughtiness behind these taboo words in a expletive-filled discussion with Peter Silverton, author of 'Filthy English: The How, Why, When and What of Everyday Swearing', the creators of Viz's 'Profanisarus', and 'swearing consultant' of 'The Thick Of It', Ian Martin. "Swearing consultant?" I hear you say. Well yes, 'The Thick of It' is so well known for its rambunctious language that they had to hire in someone specially to jazz it up even further, just to ruffle the feathers of the stuffier members of society. An interesting 90 minutes of debate, and need I remind you to expect strong language? http://bit.ly/gN36dh
