The popular Ripon Cathedral production, The Story of Christmas with Carols which enjoyed a sell-out performance last December is being performed at the Cathedral on Saturday 1st December at 7.30pm.
This year’s narrator is actor Chris Chittell, who has played Eric Pollard in the ITV series Emmerdale for more than 30 years.
The new production includes a real donkey together with trumpeters, dancers, music, drama and choral singing from the Ripon Cathedral Choir and Lay Clerks.
There will also be plenty of opportunities for the audience to join in some popular carols.
Guests can enjoy mince pies and mulled wine during the interval all within the most incredible and ancient building where the wonder of Christmas has been shared for over 1300 years.
The Very Reverend John Dobson, Dean of Ripon said: “Last year some 450 people packed the cathedral for a fascinating telling of the Christmas story, raising £7,000 for the Ripon Cathedral Music Trust . I am sure this year’s production will be just as dramatic so take my advice and book your tickets early”.
Tickets for the Story of Christmas cost from £17 and can be purchased at Ripon Cathedral Shop or online at www.riponcathedral.org.uk/event/storyofchristmaswithcarols
