A very merry Christmas from Cheltenham Festivals...

A Very Merry Christmas from Cheltenham Festivals...

'Tis just weeks before Christmas, and here at Cheltenham Festivals we're beginning to feel distinctly, well, Festive! To celebrate this jolliest of seasons we asked the stars of this year's Literature Festival to share with us a special Christmas Memory.

Every day of advent we'll be unwrapping a different Christmas Memory for your delight and delectation. And as an extra-special treat, every Festive-Friday we'll be hearing from our Festival Directors and giving away Festive-al prizes galore!

So sit back, grab a mince pie and unwrap a very special Festive-al memory...

23rd December: A theatrical treat...

We've got an extra special treat to be won today courtesy of our friends at the Royal Shakespeare Company. Just identify today's mystery festive-al star for a chance to win four tickets to the RSC's brand new play The Heresy of Love on 6th February 2012.

The Heresy of Love by Helen Edmundson is inspired by the life of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, and opens at the Swan Theatre in Stratford on 2nd February. You can find out all about it on the RSC website.

We spoke to today's mystery star at the Music Festival in July. He's a superstar pianist who played in our concert for schools - so we asked him for advice to inspire budding young musicians, press play below to hear his answer…

The competition is now closed.
