Exeter College’s annual Festival of Carols is back! We will be celebrating the start of the festive season in the stunning setting of Exeter Cathedral, complete with a candlelit procession through the nave and performances from Exeter College students, orchestra and choir.

The event is open to all but please register for your free tickets here if you would like to attend. Collection boxes will be available on the night for donations to the college’s nominated Charity of the Year, Cancer Research UK.

As a college, we are proud to support Cancer Research UK, the world’s largest charity dedicated to saving lives through research.  The charity’s main vision is to bring forward the date when all cancers are cured, funding pioneering research into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of all strains of the disease.  

As we approach the Christmas period, the Festival of Carols represents an opportunity to support patients and their families during what can be an especially difficult time of year for those suffering with cancer.  

The Festival of Carols gives Exeter College the opportunity to get people in the Christmas spirit while raising donations for an important cause. We will be showcasing some of the exceptional talents of students across a number of faculties, including Foundation Studies, Media and Performing Arts and from the college’s Centre of Music and Performance.

This year the Festival of Carols will be held at Exeter Cathedral on Thursday 2 December with doors opening at 18.30 for a 19.30 start.  

The event will follow the latest government guidance for COVID-19 and a specific risk assessment is in place to reduce the risk of transmission for everyone’s safety. Any changes to the guidance that may affect the event will be considered, actioned and communicated accordingly.

The service is free to attend and open to anyone who would like to come along and celebrate with us. As this is a slightly different year, we will be offering free tickets through an online booking system.

If you would like to attend, please register for your free tickets here.

With thanks to Taylor Lewis for their support.
