William Prideaux says “We’re delighted to be bringing Christmas Magic to Peterborough cathedral in its 900th anniversary year and we’re thrilled to play our part in celebrating the heritage of this glorious building. Christmas is always a very special time for our choirs – it’s a wonderful opportunity for us to have fun, celebrate and put on a thoroughly fantastic show for our home audience, who give us such tremendous support throughout the year. We’re looking forward to digging out our Christmas jumpers and presenting a really memorable afternoon and evening of festive fun for all the family.”

So, when you’ve finished the shopping, the tree, baubles and bangles are up, and the mistletoe’s hanging from the door, there’s only one thing left to do – celebrate the magic of Christmas with Christmas Magic, Peterborough’s biggest Christmas celebration!
