Prepare to be whisked from your Royal Festival Hall seat and taken on a magical journey, courtesy of a sleigh, a steam-train, nine flying horses and 50 elephants! Ever wondered how you could make your journey into London more planet-friendly? Honegger’s steam-train-inspired Pacific 231 might not lower your carbon emissions too much, but Prokofiev’s 'sleigh-ride' Troika could well do, Wagner’s flying Valkyrie horses are certain to, and the 50 elephants of Stravinsky’s extravagant spectacle Circus Polka might slow you down, but at least they’re exempt from the congestion charge!

Foyer Events throughout the morning: You can try your hand at playing an orchestral instrument in one of our Have-a-Go sessions, get your face painted or learn circus skills - all in the foyers before and after the performance.
