‘I loved the big drum’ Morgan (aged 6)

The 2026 concerts have now taken place and were a great success! We send a big thank you to those children and their teachers who came along and took part.

Tickets for the January 2027 concerts will go on sale in September. The dates of these concerts will be published on this website soon and sent to our mailing list. 

Financial assistance towards the cost of coach hire will again be available for state schools attending any venue; this covered up to 65% of the coach hire cost in 2026. After tickets go on sale we advise state schools to scroll down to the section on coach funding below, and to enquire about available funds before tickets are purchased.

Safeguarding

While the Children’s Concerts charity and the venues will do everything possible to provide a safe environment, it is the responsibility of the school to ensure that appropriately trained staff/volunteers in adequate numbers are in attendance to provide for the safety and well-being of their pupils. For individual children attending concerts, the safeguarding responsibility is with the accompanying parents/guardians.

Refunds

Refunds will only be offered if a performance is cancelled by the Trustees. In the event of a performer falling ill the Trustees will endeavour to employ a replacement rather than cancel a performance. In abnormal conditions the Trustees will be guided by the published notices of the relevant Local Authorities and the advice of the venue manager in assessing the safety of travel and access to the venue. In the event of a cancellation of a performance, the Trustees will inform attending schools by email or, on the day, by telephone. The Trustees will try to reschedule any cancelled concert, but should a school not wish to attend on the new date(s) offered then a refund will be made. Where an administration fee has been charged by the venue, this part of the ticket cost will not be refunded by Children’s Concerts, but rather a separate refund may be requested by the school directly from the venue. Children’s Concerts is insured by Making Music Insurance Services. Nothing in these terms and conditions affects your statutory rights.
