You’ve finished for the holidays at work, more or less, and it’s time to really get into the Christmas spirit, so what better way to do that than with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra’s Last Night of the Proms at Portsmouth Guildhall?
The performance is taking place on the 22nd of December, a mere 3 days before Christmas itself, and it is sure to get you in a festive mood.
The concert is suitable for the whole family, young and old, with tickets ranging from £17 to £33 per person. There are hospitality options too if you want to make the evening extra special, but otherwise, the bar will be open from 6.15pm, giving you plenty of time to enjoy a mulled wine before the music starts at 7pm.
It’s worth mentioning the Guildhall’s ‘Kids for a Quid’ ticket pricing too – making this a very welcome affordable night out.
It’s a main auditorium show so the sound will be perfect, and the atmosphere is sure to be wonderful – especially with the popular Pete Harrison returning as conductor.
