Our 2023 event
Last year, we raised over £80,000 to support Macmillan's vital work. This could fund a Macmillan nurse for over 1 year, helping people living with cancer and their families receive essential medical, practical and emotional support.

In 2023 we were joined by the wonderful Greg Wise, Mel Giedroyc and Toby Jones for a selection of festive readings.
Why your support is so important
Macmillan provides services to support people living with cancer at every stage of their cancer experience. We aim to support people’s individual needs, helping them find the best way through from the moment they are diagnosed, through treatment and beyond. Macmillan rely on donations from people like you for 98% of their income.
Over the last 27 years, Follow the Stars – Macmillan Carols has raised more than £840,000 and none of this would be possible without the support of people buying tickets, sponsorship, or donations in advance.
