Concert with a ticket to travel

The music promises to whisk you away from the cold English winter on a round-the-world trip before touching down on the sun-kissed shores of Australia - and you're invited to don your sunglasses and Hawaiian shirts.

The concert is perfect for everyone of any age, but there's also a free playroom in case your toddler gets restless.

Fairfield Halls Croydon, Surrey (020-8688 9291). Thur 1 Jan, 3pm, £5-£15, child £5, under-fives free.
