Carols at the Royal Albert Hall London, on Sunday 22nd December 2024 Matinee at 3pm with Shopping time before the performance (Harrods, Harvey Nichols)

Description

The Royal Albert Hall has been the home of Christmas in London for 150 years. We’re thrilled to open our doors again this December to share the magic of our favourite season.

This year’s programme is full of heart-warming live events to be enjoyed with your loved ones.

I have lovely seats in the stalls no further back than row H.  Face Value for the seat is £80. 

The performance begins at 3pm and the performance ends around 5.15pm – The coach will be waiting outside the Royal Albert Hall ready to take you home.

We arrive at the Royal Albert Hall around noon for your last minute shopping – perhaps at Harrods or Harvey Nichols or a wander around some of the stunning shops and restaurants in Kensington (to walk to Kensington High Street this is also 20 minutes).

Kensington Palace is just 12 minutes walk.

Harrods/ Harvey Nichols are approximately  20 minute walk from the Royal Albert Hall.

You can wander through Hyde Park, perhaps  view the incredible Princess  Dianna Memorial Fountain, much more than a water feature.

The Serpentine is just a 20 minute walk away. (Serpentine Bar and Kitchen recommended) .

The Colicci Cafe in Hyde park is 10 minutes walk away and recommended.

The Science Museum is just a 6 minute walk away / The Victoria and Albert and the Natural History Museum are also within a 6 minute walk.

Coach  arrives around noon and departs at 5.30pm from outside the Royal Albert Hall.

You may bring a picnic for the coach  if you wish to, however,   I would ask you avoid any smelly foods and take your rubbish with you.

The drivers are in charge of our travel to the Royal Albert Hall and whilst it maybe useful to assist the driver often sat navigation systems  we have will not suffice for the coach route so we leave the plan to the capable driver.

Please refrain from walking up and down the coach as this can be dangerous.  If you need to speak to me or the driver just pass a message down the coach – this is for your safety and the safety of other passengers.

I have high regard for my drivers and always ask customers if they would like to contribute to a non – obligatory tip as a thank you from us.

I’m unable to take any tickets to Theatre Box Offices for collection.

Please refer to the terms and conditions with regard to respecting others on the coach.

We will provide clear instructions where to meet the coach and the time we depart on the day.   If you are unable to meet the coach at the departure time the coach will still depart on time as stated to be fair to others on board.

Please can you take your seats swiftly on the coach – the driver can not leave until you are sitting down – this avoids hold ups en-route.

Please always take care when getting on and off the coach.

Tickets are given to you on the day, usually e-tickets.

There is a toilet on the coach.

You may leave items on the coach.

Bookings are not refundable once purchased – I am sorry I am unable to resell any tickets purchased or advertise resales  on my group page.

Any questions – email nicolahaynes@yahoo.co.uk   Monitored Mon-Fri between 9am-5pm.  Out of Office urgent emails will also be received if urgent.

estimated times – always confirmed  3-4 weeks prior to the event by email.
