The iconic Nine Lessons and Carols for Curious People returns for 2024. Robin Ince hosts three nights and a matinee of his pioneering mash up of science and culture where the entire breadth of human creativity and curiosity will be on display from astronomy to art, poetry to palaeontology, music to maths and everything else in between. 

December 13th, 14th (matinee and evening performance) and 15th 2024

Kings Place, London

This page is where we will be announcing some (but not all of course!) of the speakers and performers at this year’s shows. Be sure to keep checking back as new names will be added over the coming months!!

Unfortunately we weren’t able to make a northern show work this year but all things being well, we’ll be back in 2025.

All profits from this year’s shows will go to our chosen charities Hope Not Hate and Two Wheels for Life. We will once again have a collection for the Euston Foodbank. Scroll below to find a list of their most needed items.
