This year
Has a fabulous festive line up for families
There is something for everyone
Whether you want a festive film
To meet Father Christmas
A traditional festive ballet
Or a seasonal orchestral adventure
We love heading into the city
During the festive period
We love to wander the streets
Looking at the lights
Tasting street food
And warming ourselves with creamy marshmallow topped cocoa
We also love to head to the theatre
To the concert hall
And to see the big man in red
Father Christmas himself
My twins are 12 this year
But they still want to meet Old St Nick
And wish him well at Christmas
Maybe we will pop in to say hello
At the Royal Albert Hall
Where old FC is reading one of our favourite festive tales
Storytime With Father Christmas
In this very special festive experience, magic awaits your little ones as our beautiful porch is transformed into an enchanting North Pole street.
We invite you to step inside a whimsical world where you’ll be greeted by Father Christmas and his merry Head Elf as they take families on a joyful journey in this charming Christmas storytime session featuring Chris Naylor-Ballesteros’ ‘Tiny Reindeer’, ending with each child taking home their own gift.
My Christmas Orchestral Adventure
My Christmas Orchestral Adventure returns in 2022 and Albert’s Orchestra is poised and ready for a magical journey through classical music.
Father Christmas has lost his map on a practice run of his delivery route! Thankfully our trusty ensemble has found it but they need your help to return it to him ahead of the big day!
We need to zip around the world on an orchestral adventure to track him down. Along the way we’ll ice skate on frozen lakes, go on a sleigh ride and enjoy a white Christmas, all without leaving the Royal Albert Hall’s magical auditorium.
A full symphony orchestra will bring our adventure to life!
Will you help Albert’s Orchestra save Christmas?
This beloved holiday favourite features renowned composer John Williams’ charming and delightful score performed live to picture by a live symphony orchestra.
This sounds like the perfect festive treat for film fans and their grown ups.
It’s not Christmas without The Nutcracker! And in 2022 the Royal Albert Hall welcomes the return of Birmingham Royal Ballet’s festive favourite. This enchanting production, featuring Tchaikovsky’s glorious score, is a sparkling festive treat for the whole family.
This is the ballet that I am hoping to see with Esther and Bea this year.
The music always makes me feel festive and I want the girls to have that same feeling.
We have seen The Nutcracker before locally and in London but this will be the first time at the Royal Albert Hall.
Has any of these festive family offerings caught your eye?
Will you be heading to the city this advent
To enjoy the sights and sounds of Christmas?
