About this event
We wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported this year’s Follow the Stars - Macmillan Carols. This magnificent event raised over £70,000 through all your generous ticket purchases and donations. This could fund a Macmillan Nurse for over 1 year, helping people living with cancer and their families receive essential medical, practical and emotional support.
It truly was an incredible event, organised by a dedicated group of volunteers to raise vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Since its first concert in 1996, Follow the Stars – Macmillan Carols has raised over £800,000 helping Macmillan be there for people living with cancer.
We are honoured to have had such an incredible celebrity line up this year with Greg Wise, Mel Giedroyc & Toby Jones, as well as the highly acclaimed, classical trumpeter Alison Balsom.
We hope everyone who was able to join us on the night had a truly magical evening full of beautiful musical performances and spine-tingling solos brought to you from the world class voices of the Oxford Bach Soloists.
It was a night not to be missed so if you were unable to join us on the night or you would like to watch it again you can click on the link for a recording of the live performance.
Follow the Stars - Macmillan Carols will return for it’s 28th year in 2024. If you would like to be added to the mailing list about ticket release dates and other event information, please email followthestars@macmillan.org.uk.
