Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without York’s Annual Community Carol Concert which returns to York Barbican with yet another festive feast of your favourite Christmas carols and songs.

Join York RI Golden Rail Band, Knavesmire Primary School, Heworth Community Choir, and York’s very own West End showman, Ian Stroughair 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 co-hosted by Rev Andrew Foster and Adam Tomlinson.

For over 65 years Carols at the Barbican has been your traditional kick start to Christmas and we can’t wait to welcome you back for another year.

Proceeds from the event go to the Lord Mayor and Sheriff of York’s Christmas Cheer Fund and York Hospital Radio (The Press nominated charity).
