Daniel Mottram, chief operating officer of Tileyard North, said: “The response to our inaugural 12 Dates of Christmas series has been incredible with over a thousand tickets already sold for the first three events.

"We have big plans for the venue at Tileyard North and these Christmas shows are a huge part of showing that ambition to Wakefield.

"To have the iconic Craig Charles coming to blow the roof off the place in the same series as the beautiful Candlelight Christmas courtesy of the Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra just proves to us the versatility of the space and the possibilities to create one of the regions most diverse event offerings”
