Carols at the Royal Albert Hall

There are few venues as Christmassy as Royal Albert Hall – its iconic music hall evokes memories of Decembers past in chilly church halls, listening to organs play and choirs sing, no matter what time of year you visit. Stopping by ahead of Christmas, then, is a guaranteed way to get yourself in a festive mood and what better event to attend than one of its sing-along carol services. In the week before the big day, it'll host 15 concerts, with slots at 11am, 3pm and 7.30pm so you can easily fit them into your busy festive schedule. This year, there'll be performances from Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, National Youth Choir, Royal Choral Sociey, and British Imperial Military Band, plus various presenters and soloists. Warm up your pipes and practice your keys, even the most tone-deaf among us won’t be able to help joining in.
