Christmas with the Stars 2026 at The City Ground

Christmas is all about bringing people together, celebrating in style and creating memories that last long after the decorations come down. This year, The City Ground is turning up the festive magic with Christmas with the Stars 2026, a spectacular programme of party nights, live entertainment and seasonal celebrations running from 28th November to 12th December 2026.

Whether you're planning a festive get-together with friends, organising a work Christmas party, or looking for a special night out with loved ones, there's a celebration waiting for you at one of Nottingham's most iconic venues.

The festivities begin on Saturday 28th November with a brilliant Michael Bublé Tribute Night in the Robin Hood Suite. Guests can enjoy a delicious three-course meal before singing along to timeless favourites and festive classics performed by a talented tribute artist.

For those seeking something a little more refined, Candlelight at 1865 by Incahoots offers an elegant and intimate experience. Taking place in the stunning Founders 1865, this special evening combines live piano and vocal performances with a beautifully crafted five-course candlelit dinner, creating the perfect setting for a sophisticated Christmas celebration. 

If you love a lively festive atmosphere, The City Ground has plenty in store. The Christmas Warm Up Party Night brings high-energy DJ entertainment, festive fun and a delicious buffet menu, making it the ideal choice for groups looking to kick off the Christmas season in style. 

Music lovers can also look forward to an incredible line-up of tribute acts. Take a trip back to the disco era at Just One Look - An ABBA Tribute Night, where glittering performances and feel-good classics promise a night of singing, dancing and nostalgia. Fans of iconic British pop can enjoy the ultimate Take That Tribute Night, featuring the acclaimed Rule The World tribute act, complete with pitch-perfect vocals and all the biggest hits. And for a finale worthy of Christmas with the Stars, the Elton John Tribute Night guarantees a memorable evening packed with legendary songs, festive dining and a vibrant party atmosphere. 

Christmas at The City Ground isn't just for adults. The popular Festive Family Lunch offers a wonderful opportunity for families to come together and enjoy a seasonal two-course carvery, festive activities and an optional mini stadium tour, making it a fantastic day out for all ages.
