About this event
Join us as we welcome in the Christmas season with a special evening of our favourite carols performed by world-renowned artist, breath-taking musical solos, a festive collection of celebrity readings and fundraising for those affected by cancer.
This year we are thrilled welcome one of the UK’s highest rated TV presenters and an RTS award-winning writer, Nick Knowles to guide us on a journey through this magical evening and are pleased to announce we will be joined by this year’s sparkling Strictly Come Dancing star, Angela Rippon to read a classic Christmas tale.
With the exquisite sounds of the Northern Lights Symphony Orchestra, award-winning jazz and lead trumpet player, Ryan Quigley and the angelic vocals of Dame Sarah Connolly, The Macmillan Carol Concert promises to be truly spectacular.
Tickets will be available from Thursday 21 September.

We aim to support people’s individual needs, helping them find the best way through from the moment they are diagnosed, through treatment and beyond. Macmillan rely on donations from people like you for 98% of their income.
