Royal Festival Hall

Richard Curtis curates an evening of music, poetry, stories and festive joy in aid of Comic Relief, featuring a lineup of celebrity guests.

Celebrate the Season with Christmas Actually Tickets

Christmas is all around the Royal Festival Hall this year, as Richard Curtis brings the ultimate festive variety show Christmas Actually to the Southbank Centre venue. Enjoy live music, wintry stories, poetry and comedy performed by a star-studded lineup - and support Comic Relief at the same time! This feast for the senses is on for five days only and is the perfect celebration of a season we all love.

About Christmas Actually

Curated by Richard Curtis (Four Weddings and a Funeral; Notting Hill), this is a treasure trove of festive entertainment. Expect to be regaled by music, poetry, comedy and stories from a host of celebrity faces; live illustrations from some of the world’s most acclaimed artists; even more celebrity appearances via video link; lots of Christmas cracker jokes; hilarious letters to Santa from real children; and a festive sing-along to tie up the evening in a perfect bow.

In trademark Richard Curtis style - and with a name inspired by his iconic Christmas film Love, Actually - this is an evening of merriment and good-spirited fun that perfectly captures the spirit of the season as the nights draw in and get colder.

As if that wasn't enough, you will also be helping others: Christmas Actually is created in partnership with Comic Relief and funds will go towards supporting their year-round work on projects across the UK and further afield.
