The 12th Christmas at the Cathedral, a wonderful annual entertainment show, will take place on Thursday 12th December.
This popular fundraising event, held at Newcastle Cathedral, has become a local festive staple, renowned for its star-studded lineup. For many, including Lady Elsie, it marks the beginning of the Christmas celebrations.
Tickets for this year’s Christmas at the Cathedral are now on sale and the show promises another evening of exceptional entertainment, featuring a mix of celebrities and local stars delivering songs, readings and comedy sketches, all wrapped within a heart-warming festive theme.
As always, the roster of performers is being kept under wraps, adding to the excitement and anticipation. Past events have featured personalities such as Tim Healy, Melanie Hill, Billy Mitchell, Chelsea and Jill Halfpenny, Charlie Hardwick, Catherine Dryden, Jimmy Nail, Paul Smith, Rachel Unthank, Steffen Peddie, Stephen Tomkinson, The Caffreys, The Futureheads and Lorraine Crosby.
With the generous support of attendees and sponsors, including this year’s main sponsor Layer 7 IT Security from Ashington, Christmas at the Cathedral has become a treasured community tradition.
Cutting-edge lighting and sound systems will transform Newcastle Cathedral into a captivating theatrical venue, with large TV screens ensuring every moment is enjoyed by all. Ray Laidlaw, former drummer of Lindisfarne, will once again produce the show, continuing the tradition of top-quality entertainment while honouring Sir Bobby’s enduring legacy
Jonathan Wallis from Barnard Castle, the event organiser, expressed his excitement: “Being part of Christmas at the Cathedral is a wonderful annual experience not only for myself but all the people who support us and the Foundation. The added benefit is raising funds and awareness of the work of The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.”
Principle sponsor of the event Chris Tait CEO of Layer 7 IT Security said:” Layer 7 is honoured to support and sponsor Christmas at the Cathedral in aid of The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation. This event not only celebrates the festive season but also contributes to a cause close to our hearts. We are committed to giving back to the community and supporting the Foundation’s incredible work in cancer research and patient care.”
Lady Elsie added: “This is such a special event for our Foundation and for many people who have come to think of it as a lovely festive tradition. Certainly, that’s how I feel about it.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity to come together to enjoy some fantastic Christmas entertainment and help support the work of Bob’s Foundation too. We’re very grateful to everyone who supports Christmas at the Cathedral and I’ve no doubts it will be as popular as ever this year.”
