Kensington hotel visitors who are lucky enough to have a ticket to the occasion will enjoy a performance of traditional Tibetan songs and dance, as well as a short question and answer session with the Dalai Lama.

The spiritual leader is known for his warmth, humour and his ability to inspire an audience.

He will reportedly speak in genuine and realistic terms about life in the modern world and how individuals can make a difference.

While it is best known for its musical performances, the Royal Albert Hall hosts a number of other events related to culture and learning, including a talk by Gary Evans, who works with the specialist Science Photo Library, on June 9th.
