Win Tickets to the Royal Albert Hall for a Friendship Matinee of Carols

A festive day out designed with inclusion in mind

There are few places in London as magical as the Royal Albert Hall. With thousands of twinkling lights, a live orchestra and uplifting carols, it feels like stepping into something truly festive and full of joy. This year, the Hall will once again host a Friendship Matinee of Carols – a relaxed performance designed to welcome people who may benefit from a more supportive environment, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

Relaxed performances are thoughtfully adapted so everyone can enjoy live music comfortably. Audience members are free to move, take breaks or use quiet spaces if needed. It is a celebration that brings everyone together.

SEND EDventures is excited to offer two members of our community the opportunity to enjoy this special festive event. We are giving away two sets of tickets for the Friendship Matinee: Carols at the Royal Albert Hall on Sunday, 21 December 2025. Each winner will receive one ticket for a young person with SEND and one ticket for their parent or carer.
