I have watched many of the famous Christmas lectures and have been meaning to visit for a long time. I finally got the chance and booked a lecture. It was a lecture squarely aimed at children but it was still very enjoyable. The auditorium was filled with families and all clearly had a great time, with the obligatory audience participation coming into play multiple times. Every member of staff was really friendly and enthusiastic and the whole event was run very well. If you are unsure about a visit, just go for it.
