The Christmas Orchestra

The Christmas Orchestra are back at Brangwyn Hall on Thursday 3 December, their third Swansea date in three years after sold-out shows in 2024 and 2025. They're touring more locations than ever this time around, and the Swansea stop is part of that wider run.

The set is performed live by a 16-piece chamber orchestra, and the music comes from a broad range of Christmas films. You'll hear scores from Home Alone, Elf, The Holiday, Love Actually, The Muppets, A Christmas Carol, The Nutcracker, Harry Potter, Die Hard 2 and White Christmas. It's a mix of film scores, traditional carols and popular Christmas classics, all played by professional musicians in orchestral arrangements. The live music is paired with full sound production and a lighting show.

Brangwyn Hall is one of Swansea's landmarks, close to the bay's sandy beach and a short walk from the city centre. It's hosted acts like Deep Purple, The Police, Queen, Kiri Te Kanawa, Pavarotti and the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and has welcomed royalty and figures including Mother Teresa, Michael Sheen and Joan Collins, as well as televised shows like BBC Question Time and The Antiques Roadshow. Following a multi-million pound refurbishment, it now has nine rooms, with the main hall seating up to 1,070 people.

Doors open at 18:00, and the show runs from 19:30 to 20:45. Tickets are available through the official website and Ticket Tailor.
