Follow the Stars - A Celebration of Christmas
Friday 11 December
Join Stephen Fry, Joanna Lumley and many more of our country's much loved celebrities, poets and musicians who have generously given their time to create an extravaganza of solo performances and choral recitals to give you a glittering start to this year's Christmas festivities and most importantly, to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support so they can help the millions of people in urgent need of their specialist services.
'Follow the Stars' is a Christmas carol concert re-imagined for 2020 by a team of volunteers in Oxford. It will be streamed free to all from its premiere on Friday 11th December at 8pm until 31st December.
Highlights include favourite carols and spine-tingling solos brought to you from the splendour of Oxford's Christ Church Cathedral. Intermingled with the exceptional music you will hear our celebrities perform Christmas readings; funny, poignant, a little unusual and even surprising but all uplifting to bring you festive cheer.

We know that many cancer patients have had their treatment delayed, cancelled or changed as a result of COVID-19. Most of us are unaware that lockdown and the absence of fundraising events this year will result in Macmillan Cancer Support losing an estimated £100 million in revenue. Your support is needed more than ever to provide urgent funding for Macmillan so they can address the uncertainty of delayed cancer services and prevent a serious spike in cancer deaths.
Contribute to our fundraising today and help Macmillan Cancer Support deliver the vital services people living with cancer so urgently need. 100% of your contribution will, thanks to the generosity of the celebrities and the expertise of the volunteer team who have created this event, immediately go to Macmillan Cancer Support and help address the serious spike in cancer deaths predicted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Christmas is the time of giving, so whether or not you can watch with us from December 11th; we hope you will join us in raising a glass to celebrate the work of Macmillan Cancer Support and help fund their vital services by supporting our fundraising today. Why not give what you would have spent on a ticket? £29 would cover the cost of a Macmillan nurse for one hour.
The goal, £52,000, pays for a Macmillan Nurse for one year.
