Christmas Concert
Christmas Concert 2026
Oldham Parish Church is set to be alive with the sound of music as Dr Kershaw’s’ annual Christmas concert gets people in the festive spirit on Thursday 17 December.
Join us from 6pm for an evening of readings, carols, choir performances and festive refreshments. You can also take part in our Christmas raffle, all in the name of raising vital funds for Dr Kershaw’s Hospice.
Tickets can be bought on the door or via our online booking form.
Behind the scenes of our 2025 Christmas Concert
Our 2025 Christmas Concert raised over over £2,600, which will enable us to provide dedicated care and support to so many patients across the borough of Oldham.
The packed pews enjoyed performances from Dr Kershaw’s Hospice Choir, Hope Singers and Crompton House School Woodwind Ensemble. Students from the Brian Clarke Church of England Academy treated attendees to a poetry recital and rousing renditions of ‘Sing Noel’ and ‘When Christmas Comes to Town’.
The audience joined in with classic carols and the festive tradition of ‘The Twelve Hospice Days of Christmas’. This fun take on the popular song sees the lyrics replaced with things that can be found around the Hospice, including gardeners and cups of tea. And TV actress Kimberly Hart-Simpson also took to the stage to read a humorous poem.
Thank you all for your incredible support of our Christmas Concert and Dr Kershaw’s Hospice.
