A TRIO of celebrities will headline Wessex Cancer Trust’s Christmas concert at St Peter’s Church in Titchfield on Monday December 6.
Actor Martin Clunes, journalist Alastair Stewart and broadcaster Alan Titchmarsh are guest readers at the celebrations which will raise money to support local people living with cancer.
Bagpipes will lead around 300 guests to Hampshire’s oldest church before they enjoy a special evening of carols and music, including performances by Wessex Cancer Trust’s celebrated Cosham Sing for Life choir.
Sally Hillyear, Wessex Cancer Trust’s Head of Fundraising, told the Daily Echo: “We’re incredibly grateful for the support of Martin, Alastair and Alan.
"Living with a cancer diagnosis can be hard and it’s been even more of a challenge for people during the Covid-19 pandemic.
"We’re delighted to be in this wonderful church in Titchfield and can promise guests a very special evening.
"Christmas was put on hold last year so it will be lovely to come together to celebrate.”
Martin Clunes is best known for his roles in Doc Martin and Men Behaving Badly, journalist Alistair Stewart previously presented the ITV News and Alan Titchmarsh is a well-known gardening TV personality.
Tickets for the church performance are £20.
There are also a limited number of VIP tickets available at £35 where guests can join the celebrities at the Bugle Hotel, Titchfield, for drinks and canapes and enjoy reserved church seating.
The VIP reception starts at 6.30pm and the concert will get under way at 7.45pm.
Tickets for the event are on sale now at wessexcancer.org.uk
