Christmas choirs and concerts

Banish any winter chills and sing the night away at a festive concert this Christmas. With carol services and choirs performing at many of the places we look after, you'll find lots of ways to warm your seasonal spirit at these merry events near you.

In the foreground of the image is a music stand holding an open music book which is in focus, while there is a choir of people visible out of focus in the background singing from open books.

Ring in the season with Christmas carols

Sip on mulled wine, nibble a mince pie and warm up with us at a National Trust place decked out for Christmas. Whether you choose a volunteer choir performing traditional carols or a festive concert by professional singers, these events are sure to spread a little seasonal spirit. At Trerice in Cornwall, enjoy Christmas favourites throughout December from a variety of choirs performing in the traditionally decorated barn. Pick up a song sheet at Tatton Park in Cheshire to join an afternoon sing-along in the twinkling Stableyard. Book in at Canons Ashby, Northamptonshire, for an atmospheric early evening concert celebrating more than 500 years of festive music, with hot drinks and mince pies in the interval.
