Ceremony of Carols
Saturday 7 February 2026 1.05pm
The annual performance of Benjamin Britten’s much-loved Ceremony of Carols, will bring the Christmas season to a beautiful conclusion and is always eagerly anticipated.
A Ceremony of Carols is beautifully written for both the upper voices and the harp, and Britten chooses poems which tell a story about the birth of Christ.
We are delighted the the Choristers will be joined, once again, by Mared Pugh-Evans, HM The King’s Harpist. The performance is directed by Timothy Parsons, Director of Music.
The performance is in support of the Wells Cathedral Chorister Trust and we encourage a donation of £10 per adult and £5 per child on booking.
