Melissa Downes said:
“Christmas is a magical time of the year, and hosting The Lord Mayor’s Christmas Carols remains one of my favourite events – the atmosphere is unmatched.
“It’s the best way to get into the Christmas spirit, singing along to local artists and sharing the magic with those joining in at home, and it never gets old. Carols truly is a community-driven event and a joyous start to the Christmas season.”
