The National Brain Appeal Christmas Carol Concert 2026

We are delighted to announce that The National Brain Appeal’s much-loved Christmas Carol Concert returns on Wednesday 16 December, this year at the stunning St Clement Danes in London.

Join us for a magical evening of uplifting carols, seasonal performances and heart-warming moments as we come together to celebrate the joy of Christmas, while raising vital funds for The National Brain Appeal.

This year we are delighted to welcome Nicola Walker and Samuel West, as well as festive performances from The Julius Singers and The Royal College of Music. Doors will open at 18:15, where you’ll be welcomed with a mince pie and a glass of sparkling wine, and the Carol Concert will begin promptly, ending around 20:15.

Whether you’re continuing a cherished Christmas tradition or joining us for the first time, we look forward to welcoming you for a memorable evening filled with festive music, celebration and community.
