Christmas Carols with the Royal Marines Band

About

Join us this December at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard with our special guests, the band and choir from the Royal Marines School of Music, for a very special festive treat that everybody can take part in and enjoy, no experience necessary!

You will begin this unique experience with a rehearsal behind closed doors of traditional carols, before performances and a lantern lit procession between the two biggest Christmas trees in Portsmouth as the winter twilight slowly fades! A great opportunity for absolutely everyone, from families to groups, to get into the Christmas mood!

  • 13:00-15:00 – Lantern making in Boathouse 4
  • 15:15 – Rehearsal in Storehouse 9 – this is your opportunity to rehearse some traditional festive favourites with members of the band and choir from the Royal Marines School of Music
  • 15:45 – Performance begins outside HMS Warrior, followed by a lantern procession up the dockyard to the Mary Rose Museum
  • 16:10 – Performance outside the Mary Rose Museum

Feel free to wear festive attire and come prepared for all weather!
