The Christmas Orchestra returns for 2026, performing a live 16-piece chamber orchestra set of Christmas film music and traditional carols at All Saints Hove.
The Christmas Orchestra returns to Brighton on Saturday 21 November, playing All Saints Hove. It's their third run in the city, following sold-out shows in 2024 and 2025, and this time they're bringing the whole thing to All Saints.
The set is performed live by a 16-piece chamber orchestra, with full sound production and lighting. The repertoire draws on Christmas films: Home Alone, Elf, The Holiday, Love Actually, The Muppet Christmas Carol, The Nutcracker, Harry Potter and Die Hard 2, alongside traditional carols. It's a broad sweep of the season, from the big orchestral scores to the carols that usually sit in the background.
There are two performances on the night, so you can pick the one that fits your evening. The early concert has doors at 17:15, with the show running from 18:00 to 19:15. The late concert opens its doors at 19:45, with the music from 20:30 to 21:45. Both run for about an hour and fifteen minutes.
