Christmas Carol 2024

Christmas Carol 2024

Each year director Anthony Roberts takes his recital of A Christmas Carol out into the community as a fundraising opportunity for local organisations and charities. Over the years Anthony has helped raise money for church bells, community centres, history groups, children in need ... all sorts. A Christmas Carol has been performed in schools, nursing homes, theatres, little back rooms, gymnasiums, cosy snug bars, even people's front rooms, including Anthony's during the first lockdown when it was livestreamed!

The Christmas Carol tour always culminates in 2 candlelight performances at Colchester Arts Centre on 23rd and 24th December - it's a magical atmosphere and a great way to start the festive season. We are in the process of adding full tour details with booking links below. It will be possible to book some performances via our website, others you will need to contact the organisation directly.
