A string quartet of local musicians plays Christmas carols and festive favourites in a candlelit setting at the Church of Christ the Cornerstone.
Candlelight: Christmas Classics comes to the Church of Christ the Cornerstone on Friday 11 and Friday 18 December, with both nights starting at 8:30pm. It's a string quartet of local musicians on the bill, playing a collection of Christmas songs that run from timeless carols to festive favourites and themes from holiday films. The whole thing is performed by candlelight, with the room lit by nothing but candles.
The venue itself has its own bit of history to bring to the evening: the Church of Christ the Cornerstone opened in 1992 as the UK's first ecumenical city-centre church, welcoming multiple Christian denominations under one roof. It's located at 300 Saxon Gate, MK9 2ES, right in the heart of Milton Keynes.
It's an indoor experience with assigned seating, and there's a bar serving drinks before the concert. The organisers recommend it for ages 8 and up, and under-16s need to be accompanied by an adult. Each performance runs for 60 minutes, so it's a relatively short evening — easy enough to fit in around other plans if you're already out for the festive season.
