Christmas events Advent calendar - Day 18: The Bethlehem Experience

Every day until Christmas we’re opening another window on our calendar of festive events in Scotland...

Head to Perth Concert hall today, to celebrate Christmas with some camels, who really should be more widely adopted as a festive symbol.

After all, the wise men are unlikely to have travelled on reindeer, and the chances of it snowing or there being many robins twittering about anywhere near Bethlehem are slim.

The camels will have the support of costumed carol singers to cajole you into the spirit of Christmas too.
