A festive and uplifting evening of traditional carols and seasonal music will be performed by Ely Cathedral choir on Saturday December 21, starting at 7.30pm.

This magical evening - entitled Hark the Herald - will give visitors the chance to admire the spectacular 40-foot Christmas tree, and hear the soaring voices of the choirs, accompanied by Cambrige based brass ensemble Prime Bass.

Hark the Herald, O come all ye faithful and The Holly and the Ivy, are among the many favourites in this Christmas concert.

The merriment continues during the interval at a Lady Chapel reception, with a glass of champagne and seasonal canapes. Spaces for the reception are limited and cost an additional £15.

Tickets for the carol concert cost £20, £16, £10 and concessions (£7.50 available on £10 seats only) for under 16s available ONLINE and from Ely Cathedral Box Office on 01353 660349.
