Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square

Carol singing in Trafalgar Square

The Greater London Authority (GLA) provides one-hour sessions at the base of the Christmas Tree in Trafalgar Square for groups to book a carol singing slot throughout December.

In order to retain a more traditional form of carol singing, PA systems and stage will not be provided. This enables an intimate and enjoyable experience for carol singers and audiences alike, more suitable to Trafalgar Square at Christmas time.

The sessions provided should not be used for anything other than carol singing.

Carol singing schedule 2024

Please see the carol singing schedule for 2024 and the charities the carol singers are collecting for. 

There are still some available slots to book. If you are interested to perform in one of these slots, late notice requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. You can send your request by email to [email protected].
