About

Following a hugely successful debut event in 2019, 'Proms at the Vulcan' returns with the Essex Concert Orchestra performing a selection of popular movie and classical music alongside Vulcan XL426 at London Southend Airport.

The orchestra comprises some of Essex's top musicians and includes professional musicians, students at prominent London and Essex music colleges, and local music teachers. It is a member of Southend-on-Sea Arts Council and performs at venues across Essex and further afield.

Doors will open at 5.30 pm and the orchestra will begin playing at 7.00 pm. The concert is scheduled to finish at 9.30 pm.

The seating area will be outside with the orchestra on stage just inside the Vulcan Restoration Trust hangar. No seating will be provided so please bring your own chair or chairs. Refreshments, including hot and cold food, will be on sale throughout the evening but you are welcome to bring your own picnic if you wish. There will be a licensed bar.

The concert will start at 7.00 pm.

Admission is by advance ticket only - numbers will be limited to ensure we run a safe and comfortable event. Proms at the Vulcan is taking place after the Government's scheduled lifting of social distancing requirements in England. Should, though, the restrictions be extended meaning we cannot hold the event, full refunds will be made on all ticket purchases.

Ticket purchasers will be sent full event details 14 days beforehand and a further reminder 2 days before the event.

We look forward to seeing you for an enjoyable evening of live orchestral music alongside Vulcan XL426 at 'Proms at the Vulcan'.
