Be transported to Victorian London to the strains of your favourite carols as Kevin Whately (Lewis, Morse) brings episodes from Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol vividly to life.
Let the cosy Christmas atmosphere envelop you as costumed members of the London Concert Brass and Choir evoke an era of roast goose, plum-pudding, the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge and the golden-hearted Tiny Tim, performing a selection of Victorian and classic carols. Joining them is actor Kevin Whately, channeling the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future straight to your living room in selected extracts from the most heart-warming of Christmas stories.
This performance will end at approximately 8.15pm
Co-produced by the Barbican and Raymond Gubbay Ltd

On the night
We're working hard to make this a high quality experience for everyone, whether you're with us live in the Hall or watching from home. Due to the technical requirements of streaming a live performance, if you're in the Hall you might notice cameras and operators are visible, and staging, lighting and sound levels might change.
Latecomers can not be admitted.
Ticket booking closes when the concert finishes. After this point if you have a ticket you can watch again for another 48 hours. If you don’t have a ticket, unfortunately you won’t be able to watch.
