Christmas in Covent Garden

There’s nowhere more magical than Covent Garden at Christmas. Treat someone you love to a day out in Central London, where you can enjoy the dazzling light display whilst indulging in mince pies and mulled wine. You can pass by the School while you’re here and spot our iconic Bridge of Aspiration.

Festive favourites

The Royal Opera House will be abuzz throughout December as they host their run of Cinderella. It’s a stunning show for all ages and you’ll get to see lots of our talented students and alumni grace the stage. Tickets are almost all gone but don’t worry, you may be able to get last minute tickets through Friday Rush. If you’re still craving The Nutcracker this year, English National Ballet and Birmingham Royal Ballet are both staging productions of the festive favourite, also featuring Royal Ballet School students!
