Performance NotesFriendship Matinee welcomes people of all ages who may engage with a charity or community group. Join us in the spectacular surroundings of the Royal Albert Hall for what’s set to be London’s finest carol concerts of the season. There will be traditional carols and modern arrangements performed by an orchestra, choir and marching band.

This event is a part of the Hall’s Engagement programme. To welcome as many groups as possible, all tickets are £5 (including booking fees). Friendship Matinees offer a relaxed attitude to movement and noise in the auditorium, plus ‘chill-out’ spaces around the building – you can move about, dance, sing or just listen.
