Come and Play with the Hallé 2026

Bookings for this event opens at 9am on Tuesday 19th May 2026

The Come and Play concerts present a variety of music which enables collaboration between the world-class musicians of the Hallé and young instrumentalists at the start of their musical journey. This concert features musicians and singers from schools within Cheshire East, Cheshire West, Wirral and Stockport

Come and Play with the Hallé is a unique event. Hundreds of children perform with the orchestra but, for obvious reasons, they don't all fit on the stage! The seating for the school groups is in the seating that would normally be occupied by the audience on the Stalls, Choir Circle and Circle levels. This means that from the Gallery, where parents and families sit to watch the concert, it can be difficult to see all of the children all of the time.

To enable you to have the best chance of seeing your child perform, please view the detailed seating plan, and choose your seat(s) accordingly. Please note, however, that it is not possible for us to guarantee that you will have a view of your child whilst they are performing. We have limited ticket sales to 2 per person as there is very limited audience seating. Please note that, based on previous experience, tickets may sell out quickly. Regrettably, we are unable to refund tickets.
