Last Night at the Proms – Classically British

Royal Albert Hall, London

Henry Wood’s vision for the Proms was to bring the widest possible range of music at the highest possible standard to the largest audience. Ticket prices in 1895 were kept low to attract the widest of audiences, with single performances costing a shilling (5p / 10c) or a guinea (£1 / $2) for a full season ticket. Staying true to its original concept, 2009 sees the 115th year of the Proms continuing the time honoured traditions.

The Proms are synonymous with the final concert, also known as the “Last Night of the Proms”, held in the spectacular Royal Albert Hall.  This year the “Last Night” is taking place on Saturday 12th September. Watched by an audience of millions around the globe, the Last Night is one of the most popular classical concerts in the world. Encapsulating the full essence of the Proms and its British-ness, yet with a lighter fun-filled atmosphere, tickets to the show are highly sought after and very difficult to get hold of.

To open the Last Night of the Proms to a wider audience, 1996 saw “Proms in the Park” introduced. Taking the music of the Proms outdoors into some of Britain’s finest parkland, 2009 hosts five open air concerts around the British Isles, including London’s Hyde Park,  Glasgow Green in Scotland, Hillsborough Castle in Northern Ireland, Buile Hill Park in Salford, Greater Manchester  and Singleton Park in Wales.

All Proms in the Park take place on Saturday the 12th September so we’ve selected some great hotels for each of the concerts that still have availability for the Prom date. Get a dose of quintessentially British tradition and entertainment - especially if the rain comes down - at Proms in the Park!
