TICKETS for the Minster's Christmas concert go on sale today.
This year's festive spectacular takes place on Friday, December 5 and Saturday, December 6, from 7pm to raise money for the Minster Fund charity, which supports work on the cathedral.
The concerts feature the choristers, choral scholars and songmen of York Minster singing a variety of traditional Christmas carols, music from a guest brass band, and readings by a number of special guests.
Sharon Atkinson, the Minster's director of communications, said: "The Minster’s Christmas Carol concerts are a landmark event for the people of York.
"The sound of one of the UK’s finest cathedral choirs, music from a brass band, readings and much-loved carols make this a wonderful community occasion and a great way to start the Christmas season."
Tickets for Handel’s Messiah, again performed by the York Minster Choir with guest soloists, will also go on sale today ahead of the performance on December 13.
Tickets go on sale at 9.30am from www.yorkminster.org or by calling the Box Office on (01904) 557208.
