Love Actually Live in Concert - Film with Orchestra

Love Actually comes to the York Barbican on Saturday 12 December, with the film screened on the big screen while a full orchestra performs Craig Armstrong's score live. It's a concert screening, so the music is played in the room rather than coming from the speakers.

Set in contemporary London in the weeks before Christmas, Love Actually weaves together a dozen love stories — romantic, sad and sometimes stupid — and has become a Christmas tradition for many. The film is carried by an all-star ensemble: Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Laura Linney, Bill Nighy, Martine McCutcheon, Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley, Rowan Atkinson and Martin Freeman. At these live concert shows, the orchestra takes on Armstrong's evocative score, playing it in time with the film as it projects across the screen.

It's a Saturday night in mid-December, so it fits right into the pre-Christmas run-up. A few practical things to keep in mind before you book: the show is for ages 16 and over, and there's a booking fee on top of the ticket price. If you're looking for something a bit more, there are hospitality options available. Accessible bookings require a registered Nimbus Disability Access Card.

The screening starts at 7:30pm at the York Barbican on Saturday 12 December.
