Carols by Candlelight has been a diary fixture since 1947 when Bath Bach Choir first presented an intimate evening of carols and Christmas music by candlelight in the Roman Baths’ atmospheric Pump Room.
Each night a retiring collection is taken in support of two local charities. We are grateful to our audience of 2025 whose generous donations were shared between the Nigel Perrin Memorial Fund and the South Western Ambulance Charity.
