Candlelight: The Best of Hans Zimmer

Candlelight is bringing a tribute to Hans Zimmer to Swansea Minster, with two dates to choose from: Saturday 21 November 2026 at 21:00 and Saturday 23 January 2027 at 19:00. Both are at the Minster on St Mary's Square, so you've got a late-night run in November or an early evening in January.

The whole thing is built around the Candlelight format, which means the music of Hans Zimmer played under the glow of candlelight. It's a tribute concert, not a performance by Zimmer himself, and the organisers make that clear: it's not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the artist, his estate, or his official representatives. You're going for the music, not the man.

Zimmer's work is hard to pin down to one sound, and that's part of the draw. He's the name behind the scores for The Lion King, Gladiator, Inception, Interstellar, Dune, and The Dark Knight trilogy, so the set will pull from a wide range of films. If you've spent years listening to those soundtracks on a record player or in a cinema, hearing them live in a space like the Minster is a different experience entirely.

Tickets start from £23.10, and with two dates on the table, you can pick the one that fits your schedule best. The first is Saturday 21 November at 21:00, and the second is Saturday 23 January at 19:00, both at Swansea Minster, 11A St Mary's Square.
