The Princess Proms

If you are looking for a way to spend a Sunday afternoon with the family, The Princess Proms is coming to the Theatre Royal in Brighton on September 6, 2026. It is a concert designed for children aged three and up, focusing on a mix of music from animated films and popular songs. The show is scheduled to start at 13:30 and lasts about an hour and 35 minutes, which includes an interval. It is part of a wider UK tour organised by The Enchanted Voices, though it is worth noting that the organisers clarify they are not affiliated with the films or composers featured in the performance.

The programme covers a broad range of material. You can expect to hear music from films like Frozen, Wicked, Moana, The Wizard of Oz, Beauty & The Beast, Anastasia, Pocahontas, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Alongside these, the setlist includes tracks from pop artists such as Taylor Swift, Coldplay, and Rachel Platten. It is a fairly eclectic mix that seems aimed at bridging the gap between classic animation soundtracks and more contemporary pop music.

Regarding the logistics, the Theatre Royal is located on New Road, Brighton, BN1 1SD. It is relatively accessible if you are already in the city centre, being about a 10-minute walk from the Brighton train station, and there are bus routes nearby as well. Standard tickets are priced at £23.50. For those bringing very young children, the venue policy states that children under two years old do not require a ticket if they sit on a parent or guardian's lap. Anyone aged 16 or over will need to purchase an adult ticket. It is a straightforward setup for a family outing if you are interested in this specific blend of musical styles.
