Winter Concert for the Festival of St Nicholas – Newcastle Cathedral Choir – 4 December 2026
Directed by Ian Roberts, with Kris Thomsett (organ)
On Friday 4 December, join Newcastle Cathedral Choir for a magical winter evening of choral classics and seasonal music. The concert celebrates both the approaching Christmas season and the Cathedral’s dedication to St Nicholas, whose feast day falls on 6 December.
The programme will include music by Hubert Parry and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, alongside a selection of much-loved seasonal favourites and opportunities to sing along.
Doors open at 6:45pm, 45 minutes before the concert begins. Refreshments will be available ‘by donation’ before the concert and during the interval.
Family Fun – Saturday 5 December 2026 – Come and celebrate St Nicholas Day with us!
Make a St Nicholas craft, sing a Christmas carol together and hear the story of the saint who may remind you of a certain Santa Claus. You might even meet St Nicholas himself!
Everyone is welcome, whatever your age. Please book in advance so we can have enough craft materials ready for everyone.
This session is recommended for children aged 4–11 and their grown-ups. Children need to stay with their adult throughout the session. Come along and enjoy the fun together!
