Carols By The River 2025

A group of young women are standing clapping. They're wearing winter coats and there is a Christmas tree behind them decorated with gold baubles.

Our much-loved festive event is back for 2025 — join us on the South Bank to celebrate the season together. 

Enjoy live music featuring Christmas favourites, a special art activity for children, plus delicious food and drink. The Wharf will be transformed with festive lights and decorations so everyone can soak up the sparkle and seasonal atmosphere. Bring friends, family, and good cheer — all are welcome. 

Shop local and find unique gifts 

Explore our independent shops, open for the event, and discover one-of-a-kind presents for family and friends. Shop small, support local businesses, and pick up gifts with character.
