It's time to don your Christmas jumpers and Santa hats for an afternoon of family festive fun.

It just wouldn’t be Christmas without York’s Annual Community Carol Concert returning to York Barbican for yet another seasonal feast of your favourite Christmas carols and songs.

Join Shepherd Brass Band, St Paul's CE Primary School Choir, All Saints RC School Choir and Amber Ford with a special guest appearance of Ken Humphreys for an afternoon of Christmas cheer. Carol Concert regular, the popular Steve Cassidy, will be singing along with the ensemble, whilst the community singing will be led by Musical Director Mike Pratt. The event will be hosted by Rev Andrew Foster and Adam Tomlinson.

For over 66 years Carols at the York Barbican has been your traditional kick start to Christmas and we can’t wait to welcome you back for yet another year.

Proceeds from the event will go to the Lord Mayor and Sheriff of York’s Christmas Cheer Fund and The Press nominated charity York Against Cancer.
