The International Manufacturing Building (IMC) on the University of Warwick Campus (CV4 7AL). The video feed will be broadcast to us to watch live in our auditorium.
Note that we cannot provide the link to anyone else to stream elsewhere. This is an in-person event.
You can watch the lectures with us as they are recorded, with live hosting and entertainment.
As the world-famous CHRISTMAS LECTURES from the Royal Institution are filmed for the BBC, you can watch-along with us before (almost) anyone else. With live entertainment, extra challenges, experiments, and demonstrations - all in a University auditorium - this is the perfect way for your whole family to watch the CHRISTMAS LECTURES.
Think of it as a science movie premiere - and join us in the exclusive audience!
What are the CHRISTMAS LECTURES from the Royal Institution?
More information on the Ri CHRISTMAS LECTURES.
Initiated by Michael Faraday 200 years ago when organised education for children was scarce, the CHRISTMAS LECTURES established an exciting new way of presenting science to young people. However, only around 100 people can attend the theatre in person - so we have been given an exclusive opportunity to broadcast the lectures live as they happen into the auditorium at WMG at the University of Warwick. There will be a live host with additional entertainment so this will be more than just another online event. This is an exciting opportunity to see the lectures as they are filmed for the BBC and before anyone else (except those in the theatre themselves!).

What are this year's CHRISTMAS LECTURES about?
We’re delighted to announce we are one of the livestream venues for this year’s CHRISTMAS LECTURES from the Royal Institution. This year leading space scientist Dame Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock will take us on an epic voyage through time and space.
This event is perfect for all the family! Children and people of all ages can come and watch the magic of the Lectures unfold in real time as they’re filmed in front of an audience in the Ri’s Theatre in London. They’ll have the chance to get involved with hands-on activities, and be amazed by the mysteries of the Universe.
Joined by a host of very special guests - from astronauts to history-making astronomers - Maggie will explore the extraordinary breakthroughs that have revolutionised our understanding of the universe, enabling us to see ever further into space, and ever further back in time.
You can read more about Maggie and the LECTURES on the Ri website.
In this iconic anniversary year these lectures will be a true celebration – of our universe and of the astounding human endeavours that are allowing us to solve its mysteries.
