2-for-1 classical concerts, cosy cabins, and our fave BYO restaurants

Treat yourself to 60-minute Half Six Fix concert

Looking for something different to do on your next date night, or evening out with friends? Pair drinks with a dose of culture at London Symphony Orchestra's Half Six Fix, a relaxed concert that's ideal for both regular concert goers and anyone new to orchestral music.

The Half Six Fix takes place at Barbican Hall — grab a drink at the foyer, before settling down for the concert. Each performance begins with the conductor introducing the music to the audience, and discussing why they love it so much. Then, an orchestra of 80+ musicians brings it to life right in front of you — a real goosebump-inducing experience... in the best possible way!

Each Half Six Fix concert lasts just an hour, so there's time to go for drinks or dinner afterwards. You can snap up tickets for £18-£35 — or as little as £10 if you go for a 'Wildcard' ticket (meaning you don't find out which seat you're in until the day). Plus, Londonist readers can get 2-for-1 full-price tickets by using code '241HSF02' when booking online (excludes 'Wildcard' tickets). Upcoming concerts take place on 8 and 15 February — book now, before seats sell out!
