Huge congratulations to the brilliant Tahra Zafar on receiving a lifetime achievement award today at the 22nd JM Barrie Awards. 🎉

Tahra alongside an amazing team of makers, designers and creatives joined us earlier this year to bring Raymond Briggs' beloved character, The Snowman to life once more on our stage.

The Snowman™ may have already closed here at The Rep, but you can still see Tahra's stunning work when The Snowman™ opens at the Peacock Theatre (@Sadlers_Wells) from Sat 21 Nov 2026 - Sun 3 Jan 2027. ☃️

Congratulations to Tahra, Ellie Griffiths and English Touring Opera!
