Once dates are sold out, they will not be available to book. If your preferred date is sold out, you’ll need to select an alternative date.

If you can only attend a sold out date but would still like to attend, please contact us at schoolsconcerts@liverpoolphil.com and we can add you to our waiting list. Should we get a cancellation for your preferred date, we will contact you as soon as possible to offer you the tickets before they go back onto general sale.

Tickets cost £5.25 per child.

No – tickets are purchased online with a credit/debit card. We can accept payment by invoice, with full payment required within 30 days of booking. We reserve the right to cancel any booking if the invoice is not paid by the due date. If you have any queries about this, please contact us at schoolsconcerts@liverpoolphil.com.

For Key Stages 2 and 3, you are entitled to one free adult ticket for every 10 child tickets, or part thereof. For example, if you book 33 child tickets you will be entitled to 4 free adult tickets.

Yes, you can book for multiple concerts in the same series, or across different series. If you are booking 300+ tickets (e.g. from a Multi Academy Trust), please contact us at schoolsconcerts@liverpoolphil.com to find out how you can access a group booking rate.

No. If you need to bring additional adults to support your pupils, just include these in the free adult tickets section of the booking form.

There is a section on the form for any seating requests, however we give preference to schools with access/other needs, and then allocate seats in such a way as to keep each school group together. We will endeavour to meet any preferences for particular seating areas, but cannot guarantee this. Late bookings will generally be placed at the back of the Circle.

We have 16 spaces for wheelchair users in the auditorium. The boxes and rear stalls wheelchair areas are most suited to children who have additional needs, or who may need to leave the auditorium during the concert. From working with schools who have attended over many years, we would suggest that you request box seats for children with ASD or similar conditions, as they can easily leave and re-enter the auditorium should they become agitated or upset.

If you would like to speak to somebody to discuss how we can best accommodate your party, please contact schoolsconcerts@liverpoolphil.com.

Details will be sent to the email address provided on the booking form. The Key Stage 2 and 3 scheme of work will be sent out via email to all bookers in the Autumn Term.

There are no tickets for these concerts. 2-3 weeks before the concerts, we will send you a final details pack, which will contain confirmation of your booking, coach parking information, and any other information you might need for your visit. In total, you should receive three separate confirmations from us: one when your booking is processed, one with your scheme of work, and a final group ticket. If you haven't received anything, please ring or email us!

You should aim to arrive around 15-30 minutes before the start of the concert. Each school has an arrival time detailed on their confirmation letter which you will receive via the post in advance of the concerts. Please check this arrival time to ensure your group is seated before the concert starts.

Please note, there is limited drop-off space outside the Hall, so the area can become quite congested. We may need to ask your coach to circle the block while we unload other coaches which have arrived before yours.

Our staff will meet you off your coach and walk you to your seats. We cannot guarantee any non-essential seating requests and we reserve the right to seat you anywhere in the Hall.

Key Stage 2 and 3 concerts last 1 hour 15 minutes. You should allow a further 15 minutes to get back to your coach.

Unfortunately, due to the large volume of schools and the tight turnaround between concerts, we are unable to provide a space for schools to eat lunch.

Many schools, especially those travelling a significant distance for the concerts, also choose to visit other cultural attractions on the same day. 

Our partners, National Museums Liverpool, run a series of accessible in-person workshops. These are particularly linked to both the Key Stage 2 and 3 concerts and curricula. Click here for more details and to book.

We’d also recommend the Anglican and Metropolitan Cathedrals, Walker Art Gallery and Tate Liverpool, all of which are within a few minutes' walk or coach journey from the Hall.

There is no dedicated coach parking in the vicinity of the Hall. Liverpool City Council helpfully suspends some pay and display bays for us around the Hall. We will locate each school’s coach and direct you to your coach at the end of the concert.

In the event of a cancelled performance, we will offer you the choice of a full refund or credit note towards future Schools' Concerts.
