Carols by Candlelight

Part of Christmas

This event has passed.

After sell-out performances of their popular Carols by Candlelight concerts last year, the Fitzhardinge Consort make a welcome return in a concert of seasonal music from across the ages. Come and enjoy the festive ambience, the beautiful voices and St George’s special acoustics with this wide-ranging programme which will include audience favourites alongside lesser-known festive works.


Audiences who came to last year’s Carols by Candlelight concert said this:

“Amazing music – such a lovely evening and great atmosphere.”

“It was a wonderful evening – the choir were incredible and the atmosphere was very festive!”

“Stunning and uplifting!”
