There are no age restrictions, Battle Proms is the perfect way to introduce children to live orchestral music in a fun, informal setting. Children love the picnic style of the event, plus all the excitement of the peripheral entertainments such as the traditional fairground stalls, cavalry, infantry, aerial displays, cannons and fireworks.

Very young children may benefit from a pair of junior ear defenders if they are sensitive to fireworks. As a guideline, we would advise a ratio of one supervising adult to three children under 16, and children must be supervised by an adult at all times.
