Ceremony of Carols

On Saturday 7th February, the Choristers of Wells Cathedral, directed by Timothy Parsons, gave a beautiful performance of Benjamin Britten's a Ceremony of Carols. The Choristers were joined by the exceptional Mared Pugh-Evans, Harpist to His Majesty The King. The performers received a standing ovation for their wonderful performance. The Nave was filled with over 400 guests, creating a truly special atmosphere. We were especially pleased to welcome the Mayor and Mayoress of Wells to share in the occasion.

The Ceremony of Carols concert raised funds for the Wells Cathedral Chorister Trust. WCCT exists to ensure, as best we can, that no child for financial reasons loses out on the life transforming opportunity to take up a place to be a Chorister. The Chair gave a special thanks to all the regular supporters of the WCCT, known as The Friends of WCCT. It is due to these valuable supporters that the Trust is able to provide bursaries for Choristers. There is more information about the Friends scheme here. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported, it was an afternoon to remember.
