BBC Proms: Walton/Ravel/Shostakovich with pre-concert drinks.

*You will need to purchase a ticket in order to attend. Promming only costs £8, see below for more information*

Join us at the BBC Proms for a programme including Walton's 1st Symphony and Ravel's Piano concerto for the left hand.

As you need to get in early in order to get a decent view (if you're promming), I thought it best to meet up for a drink BEFORE the concert - so we'll be meeting at The Queens Arms, 30 Queen's Gate Mews - a 5min walk away - before heading to the ROH about an hour before the concert starts. We can also head for more drinks afterwards if people are inclined to do so!

Timetable:
17:30 - Pub meet & greet.
18:30 approx - Head over to ROH to take our place in promming queue(s)
19:30 - Concert starts
22:00 - End of concert - possible after show drinks if wanted.

There will be live updates on this event page on the day for anyone trying to track us down!
