We are delighted to announce that this year’s magnificent Carols by Candlelight will take place on Tuesday, 5 December.
Our fantastically festive evening will be returning to Reading Town Hall from 6pm.
Carols by Candlelight will be hosted by Pride of Reading host and long time supporter Andy Briggs, alongside broadcast journalist and presenter at BBC Radio Berkshire, Bridgitte Tetteh.
We’ll be joined by the joyful English Martyrs Primary School choir and Take Note Community choir. As well as seasonal songs there will be readings as well inspiring stories about Launchpad’s work with people in housing crisis.
Every ticket sale for this unmissable magical evening will help Launchpad continue to provide homes for Reading’s most vulnerable this winter.
Our supported housing offers warm, clean, and safe accommodation for over 100 people in need – which is a lifeline to the many individuals, couples, and families at risk of, or who have already lost their homes.
Fiona Keyte, Fundraising Manager at Launchpad, said: “Every year people tell us that Carols by Candlelight marks the start of their Christmas celebrations. I’m really looking forward to hearing some great singing this year, while knowing that we’ll be helping people across Reading too.”
Tickets are £12 per person and under 3’s can attend for free. There is unreserved seating but accessible seating can be requested at the point of booking.
