Every Christmas, we support two member-nominated charities; one local and one national. These are good causes that mean something very special to the members who nominate them.

We are delighted to introduce the second of our chosen charities for 2026, Haven House Children's Hospice. Based in Woodford Green, this charity provides specialist care and support for babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, helping them and their families make the most of every precious moment.

We raise money through audience donations at our Christmas concert and we VERY much hope you will come along to celebrate the magic of Christmas with Hertford Choral Society as well as support a good cause!

Why not join us for a sparkling programme of festive music, combining glorious choral classics with much-loved Christmas carols.

At its heart will be John Rutter’s magnificent Magnificat, bursting with joyful rhythms and radiant melodies. The celebrations continue with Rutter’s exquisite What Sweeter Music, Phyllis Tate’s enchanting Carol, with Lullaby, and the delightful Donkey Carol.

With traditional favourites including Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, The First Nowell and O Come, All Ye Faithful, plus special performances from Benington School Choir, there’s going to be something for everyone.

Plus a complimentary mince pie and interval refreshments included in the ticket price.

It's a wonderfully uplifting way to welcome the Christmas season and always great fun!

Tickets: £20 (reserved centre aisle), £15 (unreserved side aisle), £5 (students under 30)

🎶 WOW! WHAT A NIGHT! 🎶

We're still on a high after yesterday's fabulous concert!

A huge thank you to the wonderful New Eden Consort, whose glorious singing was an absolute delight, and to the brilliant Thomas Luke, who gave us a truly virtuoso performance of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21. What an absolute treat!

Our heartfelt thanks go to our MD Manvinder, our orchestra Serafine Sinfonia, our two super Choral Scholars and every single member of Hertford Choral Society, Friends and stewards for the hard work, enthusiasm and music-making that brought it all together. Plus a big thanks to All Saints'Church for hosting us.

And, of course, THANK YOU to our fantastic audience! ❤️ There's nothing quite like sharing live music - you made the evening extra special.

To everyone who helped behind the scenes, sold tickets, welcomed our audience, moved chairs, organised things and generally made the magic happen — we couldn't do it without you!

We're feeling very happy today. And possibly a little tired.

But mostly very very happy! 🎃🎵
