About this Event
This Christmas, Raise invites you to join us for a truly special evening in the magnificent surroundings of Keble College Chapel, Oxford.
For one unforgettable evening, this beautiful and historic chapel will be filled with candlelight, music and voices as we come together to celebrate Christmas while raising vital funds for 15 local Oxfordshire charities.
Guests can look forward to a wonderful programme of traditional Christmas carols, beautiful choral performances, seasonal music and special readings.
We are delighted to be joined by Oxford’s acclaimed a cappella group Out of the Blue, alongside Musicial Director, Jonty Hedges.
This will be much more than a Christmas concert.
At its heart is the spirit of Raise bringing people together to make a genuine difference and support the incredible work of charities helping people and communities across our county.

Whether you come with family, friends or colleagues, we hope you will leave feeling that Christmas has truly begun.
