Last Night Of The Proms celebrations spill out of London's Royal Albert Hall to events in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

After a packed two months, the 116th BBC Proms comes to a spectacular end on Saturday 11 September. The world-famous Last Night Of The Proms celebrations extend far beyond London's Royal Albert Hall, as people come together across the UK to be part of the magic of the Last Night.

Ambitious live events take place at Hyde Park in London, Hillsborough Castle in Northern Ireland, Singleton Park in Swansea, Buile Hill in Salford and Caird Hall in Dundee on Saturday 11 September as a potential audience of 70,000 people gather across the UK to celebrate the end of the world's largest music festival (with millions more watching or listening to the Last Night Of The Proms on BBC TV and Radio).

The UK-wide event features artists including Renée Fleming and Maxim Rysanov (Royal Albert Hall); Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, José Carreras and Neil Sedaka (Hyde Park); Russell Watson (Hillsborough Castle); John Barrowman (Buile Hill Park); Nicola Benedetti (the Caird Hall); and Catrin Finch (Singleton Park). All six of the BBC Performing Groups will be in action, together with the Ulster Orchestra and BBC presenters to mark the conclusion of the annual BBC Proms season.

The evening culminates in a live big-screen link-up to the Royal Albert Hall for the traditional participatory festivities and flag-waving that round off the world-famous Last Night Of The Proms.

Audiences can also join in at more BBC Big Screen events than ever before across the UK.

Booking information is available online at bbc.co.uk/proms.
