We are excited to offer science centres, museums, and community centres around the UK the opportunity to host an event in partnership with the Ri to livestream the 2024 CHRISTMAS LECTURES directly from our Theatre.

The event will include behind the scenes shots of the programme as well as do-at-home activities, audience participation demonstrations and hands-on activities.  

Filming will be live streamed from the Royal Institution’s iconic Theatre on Tuesday 10 December, Thursday 12 December and Saturday 14 December and broadcast on BBC Four in late December. If you are interested in becoming a partner livestream venue, please register your interest by clicking the button below.

The CHRISTMAS LECTURES are the world's leading science lectures for young people and have been inspiring children and adults alike since 1825. Initiated by Michael Faraday when organised education for children was scarce, the CHRISTMAS LECTURES established an exciting new way of presenting science to young people. We will host a full live theatre audience for the Christmas Lectures, and we would love your organisation to be involved in our livestreaming programme.
