About This Event

The Great British Film Orchestra presents a chamber-orchestra concert of well-loved festive film music, taking in scores from Home Alone, Love Actually, The Polar Express, Harry Potter and Elf alongside The Nutcracker and A Christmas Carol. It is pitched as a nostalgic seasonal night out for film-music fans and anyone wanting to get into the Christmas spirit. The organisers note that the show uses bright flashing lights and visual effects, sometimes synchronised with the music, and some louder high-contrast passages, so it may not suit people with photosensitive epilepsy or sound sensitivities. Ear protection is recommended for the louder sections.
