Story

Follow the Stars – Macmillan Carols is a magnificent annual Christmas fundraiser in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support that takes place in the stunning surrounds of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford. Join us at 8pm on Friday 6th December as we welcome in the 2024 Christmas season with a special evening of your favourite carols and choral music performed by the world-class voices of the Oxford Bach Soloists. This year we are thrilled to announce we will be joined by the wonderful actors Shaun Evans*, Jason Isaacs*, Toby Jones* and Gugu Mbatha-Raw* for a festive collection of literary readings.

We are pleased to announce that tickets are now on sale for this year's Follow the Stars - Macmillan Carols concert and can be bought on the Tickets Oxford website. Make sure you purchase your tickets soon so you don't miss out on this spectacular evening.

Over the last 27 years, Follow the Stars – Macmillan Carols has raised £840,526 for Macmillan Cancer Support, helping to provide the vital support those affected by cancer need. None of this would be possible without the support of people buying tickets, sponsorship, or donating in advance.

This year we aim to raise £80,000 for people living with cancer and we hope you will support our ambition. 1 in 2 people in the UK will hear the words ‘you have cancer’ in their lifetime. In Oxfordshire there are on average 3,790 people diagnosed with cancer each year. Today over 30,600 people are living with cancer in Oxfordshire; by 2030 we expect that figure to rise to 42,300.

By donating you are directly supporting people living with cancer. £30 could help pay for a Macmillan Nurse for 1 hour, supporting people living with cancer and their families receive essential medical, practical, and emotional support.

If you have any queries about this year's event please contact followthestars@macmillan.org.uk.
