Performer Info
Only if you have signed up in advance, you can join us at:
Coal Drops Yard, Kings Cross, London N1C 4DQ
This is round the corner from our 2022 location - the same place as our summer event if you joined us then!
After walking North from the underground or rail stations, cross the canal onto Granary Square, then head to the left down the slope into Coal Drops Yard.
Kings Cross estate staff will happily point you the right way.
You can also find Coal Drops Yard on this map of the Kings Cross estate
Kings Cross is one of the most accessible locations in London to reach by public transport, with excellent rail, underground and bus links. Plan your journey at tfl.gov.uk - the nearest station is Kings Cross St Pancras.

A fun, friendly, festive afternoon
Sheet music
Your music was sent to you by email, with a subject line "Sheet Music for December 10th"
The email also contained a reminder of whether you said you would print your own music, or if we will have it waiting for you on the day.
If you said you would print your own music, you must do this please - we will not be bringing spares unless you contact us to let us know.
Essential to bring with you:
Music stand (not required for choir)
Warm clothes (we will be outside without cover for 3 hours!)
Instrument or singing voice
Optional to bring with you:
Music stand lights
Fingerless gloves
Friends and family to listen!
What happens if it rains?
Since there will be no cover over our performance space, we may have to cancel in severe wet weather.
If this is likely, a warning email will be sent to participants the day before, followed by a final decision message by 9am on the day.
Important Risk Assessment Information
You can view our our event risk assessment here.
Note that Covid-19 has now been removed as a specific risk with specific mitigation - but that does not mean Covid-19 has disappeared!
If you feel unwell, or you have any Covid-19 symptoms, consider if you really should be attending a mass event with many other people.
You may also wish to take a test before or after the event.
