This is one of our most popular events and certainly our favourite. Join us for an 
exquisite concert of carols and seasonal classics staged in full 18th Century costume in an evocative candle-lit style setting. We have reserved superb Grand Tier box seats for the 8.00 pm performance.
Before the event we have arranged a bubbly reception and a delicious two course brunch with wine + tea or coffee at Christopher’s Grill in Covent Garden – always a favourite with our guests. Before we leave for the Royal Albert Hall there will be time to enjoy the entertainment and festivities in Covent Garden and/or perhaps a pot of tea in the Waldorf Hotel. Traffic permitting, we shall be able to view London’s Christmas lights before we journey home after the concert.
