The chance to enjoy an unforgettable occasion at one of the world's favourite concert venues is the highlight of three separate London breaks offered by Newmarket, the reader holiday company, in the run-up to Christmas this year

JUST imagine, a visit to the capital, dressed in its festive finery, topped off with a wonderful musical evening in the magnificent auditorium forever linked with the passion and the pomp of the BBC Proms.

Join us on November 21 for a break which features the breathtaking experience of the Classical Spectacular, an evening of music, lights and lasers, with more than 200 musicians and singers performing a selection of best-loved classical favourites, culminating in a fireworks finale to the 1812 Overture, and including rousing renditions of Rule Britannia and Land of Hope and Glory. The price of this break starts at £89.95.

Or you can join us on December 9 for the 34th Christmas Carols With The Stars' event, in aid of the Leukaemia Research Fund.

Enjoy the performances of some of the UK's top brass bands, a children's choir, a visit from a mystery Father Christmas, and appearances by celebrities from the world of TV and entertainment. This break costs £99.00.

Finally, enjoy the festive traditions of the famous Classic Carols concert on our two-day break departing on December 12.

As well as best-loved Christmas musical favourites, the evening includes the chance to join the orchestra and choir in all your favourite carols - the perfect way to start the festive season. The price of this break also starts at £89.95.

All the breaks feature return coach travel from local pick-up points and a night's bed and continental breakfast accommodation in a comfortable hotel.

On the Classical Spectacular and Carols with the Stars breaks, you'll stay in a three-star hotel in the Greater London area, travelling into the city by coach; on the Classic Carols departure there's the added bonus of accommodation in a four-star, centrally located London hotel to enjoy.

You'll have the company of an expert tour manager throughout the break and, of course, there will be time for shopping and sightseeing in the capital.

These breaks are just part of Newmarket's huge range of holidays at home and abroad. Others include the opportunity to enjoy the Best of the West End on a series of exciting theatre-inclusive breaks, several autumn tours of the UK's most celebrated beauty spots, including Cornwall's marvellous Eden Project; the Duchess of Northumberland's spectacular Alnwick Garden; weekends in Paris; Prague; New York; and other exciting cities; and a whole range of longer holidays by coach and by air, all featuring comfortable travel arrangements, a good standard of hotel, and the services of a friendly tour manager or resort representative.
