A Christmas Carol Like No Other

Amid the crisp air and festive lights that adorn the charming city of Cambridge, the Traditional Punting Company’s Christmas Carols on the River stands out as a beacon of joy and generosity on the winter calendar. This much-anticipated event transforms the River Cam into a floating concert hall, resonating with the harmonious sounds of cherished carols—a heartwarming tradition that uplifts the community spirit and champions a noble cause.

Every ticket you purchase is a pledge of hope, as we donate 100% of the sales to a carefully chosen charity each year. Your participation is an act of kindness that extends far beyond the banks of the Cam—it’s a lifeline for those grappling with life’s sternest challenges. Together, we’ve turned our Christmas Carols event into a vessel of change: from supporting EACH in 2019 with £553, rallying for Blue Smile with £770 in 2021, to reaching a milestone with £830 for Cambridge Aid in 2022. This year, we’re steering our efforts towards an ambitious goal for Tom’s Trust.

Carols, Charity, and Cambridge – A Trio of Festive Delights

Tom's Trust: A Beacon of Support

This year, your carol-sung evenings will echo through the halls of hospitals across the UK, as Tom’s Trust dedicates itself to nurturing the mental health of children diagnosed with brain tumours. Their team of clinical psychologists work in hospitals across the UK, helping children from diagnosis, to continuing that support as their needs change. By providing mental health support at the point of diagnosis and beyond, they provide the best chance for children to get back to school, resume their lives and go on to achieve their full potential.

To honour the spirit of Christmas, each year we, at the Traditional Punting Company, embrace the festive period with a music charity event for all to enjoy. Carols on the river is a great way to get into the Christmas spirit in the run up to the big day. So wrap up warm, snuggle under a blanket, and have a hot chocolate in hand, whilst St John the Evangelist choir serenade you with carols whilst you are effortlessly punted along the College Backs. This Punting in Cambridge experience will be one to remember this joyous season. Secure your seat to be part of something extraordinary, and, above all, do not forget to sing along.
