Every December since 1996, Oxford’s magnificent Christ Church Cathedral has resounded to the sound of exquisite choral music and the voices of the country’s best-known actors, performing readings to celebrate the arrival of the Christmas season. This much-loved annual event is Follow the Stars Macmillan Carols, fund-raising in support of the invaluable work of Macmillan Cancer Support, and takes place this year on Wednesday 9th December at 8pm.

To mark our 30th anniversary, we are planning an extra-special celebration, combining nostalgic elements from our inaugural concert and the talents of the brightest stars of today to entertain and move the audience. It will be THE unmissable event of Oxford’s festive calendar and we would love you to join us, filling the cathedral with your voices alongside the world-renowned Oxford Bach Soloists. How wonderful would it be to be part of the evening that marks our fund-raising hitting £1 million? To date, thanks entirely to all those who have bought tickets over the years and the generous support of the event’s sponsors, we have raised a staggering £914,449, every penny of which goes directly to improve the outcome and survival rates of those living with cancer.

Almost 3.5 million people are currently living with cancer in the UK and Macmillan Cancer Support is with them every step of the way. As the King himself said recently in the midst of his own treatment, "What strikes us repeatedly is the profound impact of human connection –whether in the careful explanation from a specialist nurse, the hand held by a hospice volunteer, or the shared experience in a support group. These moments of kinship create what I might call a ‘community of care’, one that sustains patients through the most difficult of times.”

Come along and help us raise the Cathedral's roof and push our fund-raising total to an amazing MILLION FOR MACMILLAN!
