A Musical Christmas Spectacular

A Musical Christmas Spectacular comes to Gloucester Cathedral on Monday 7 December, a new addition to the cathedral's festive programme. It's an informal Christmas concert, and the bill is straightforward: the choirs, organists and soloists of Gloucester Cathedral performing together in the Nave. The cathedral describes it as fun-filled and perfect for the whole family, so it's one of those evenings that works as well with kids in tow as it does on its own.

Because it's an informal concert, it's a bit different from the more formal services you'll find around the cathedral during December. The choirs, organists and soloists are the ones you'll hear throughout the season, but here they're the main act rather than part of a service. It's a good way to hear them all together in one go, and since it's in the Nave, you'll be right in the middle of the music.

There's a pre-concert drinks bar open in the Cloister, so you can arrive early and have a drink before heading into the Nave for the start. The concert itself runs from 6.30pm to 8.45pm, with doors opening at 6pm, which gives you plenty of time to get settled. Tickets range from £13 to £35 depending on where you sit, so you can pick your spot based on what you're after.
