Cumbria's Big Carol Sing

Traditional carol services cannot take place in the usual way because of COVID-19 restrictions – but you can still take part in an event this weekend.

Why not join others across the nation on your doorsteps to sing carols together and spread some much-needed cheer.

The Cumbria Big Carol Sing event will take place on Sunday, December 20 from 6pm outside houses across Cumbria. The singing will start at 6.30pm.

  1. This is what you need to do:Invite your family and neighbours;
  2. Wrap up warm and find a torch, light or candle;
  3. Plan some festive cheer – mulled wine and mince pies;
  4. Tune in to BBC Radio Cumbria or BBC Sounds.

As Buddy said in the movie, Elf: "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."*
