Whether you’re a seasoned classical music aficionado, or a fair-weather fan with a fondness for Land of Hope and Glory, the BBC Proms has something for you.
The eight-week classical music festival began in 1895, and has taken place largely at Royal Albert Hall ever since. As well as the recurring traditions, like all of the Union Jack flag-waving and pomp and circumstance that goes on at Last Night of the Proms, the annual programme always contains plenty of surprises: from The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain covering Wheatus’ Teenage Dirtbag to the first ever Doctor Who Prom.
