In partnership with Concerts by Candlelight

Fancy an illuminating evening out? No problem – simply head to a Concerts by Candlelight show. These performances take place in a variety of beautiful and historic arts venues across the UK, and – as the name suggests – the action is indeed stylishly lit by candles, adding yet-more atmosphere to the experience.

Over 20 different candlelight concerts have been meticulously put together, showcasing the music of genuine musical legends: think rock dons like Fleetwood Mac, Queen and Meatloaf, as well as pop icons like ABBA and Tina Turner, plus the ever-welcome songs of The Beatles, meaning there’ll be something for all ears to enjoy.

Seasonal concerts also take place to mix things up a little – because who can deny the annual appeal of Christmas classics, made even more heartwarming by a magical, candlelit setting?

When it comes to the performances themselves, rest assured you’re in the safe hands: West End singers and seasoned professional musicians will be creating the soundtrack to your night, whether that’s belting out timeless rock riffs, nailing vocal harmonies on anthemic pop choruses or crooning soothingly through much-loved classics. And it’s all accompanied by those hundreds of gently flickering candles, bathing your chosen venue (which could be an ancient cathedral or a storied theatre) in marvellously warm glow. Fair warning: you probably won’t want to go home at end of the night.

So, where can you find these fantastic venues hosting these equally fantastic performances? All around the UK, as it happens – and as luck would have it, that very much includes a host of destinations that you can fly to with easyJet.

Upcoming shows in some of those easyJet locations include Tina Turner by Candlelight at The Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh, Bowie by Candlelight at Belfast’s Ulster Hall, Afternoon Tea with the Jersey Boys at The Monastery in Manchester and Christmas by Candlelight at London’s Adelphi Theatre, for those who want to lock-in some feelgood festive vibes.
