Is there anything better than Christmas Carols in cosy jumpers, children joyfully singing, and the chance to sing-along to your festive favourites? No, we didn’t think so either! Couple this with readings by your favourite BBC Wales presenters, and splendid accompaniment by the brass and percussion of BBC NOW and you’ve got the perfect Sunday afternoon Christmas treat for all the family.
Join BBC National Chorus of Wales with their artistic director Adrian Partington, alongside a massed Children’s Choir from schools across Wales for this glittering, annual Christmas festivity.
