Handel’s messiah

More than 280 years after its premiere, this extraordinary work remains at the heart of the Christmas season. From moments of quiet reflection to the uplifting power of the Hallelujah Chorus, Messiah continues to captivate audiences with its drama, beauty and timeless message of hope.

We’re once again joining forces with our artistic partners Manchester Camerata under the baton of Laurence Cummings, one of the world’s leading Handel specialists and Music Director of The Academy of Ancient Music. His energy, insight and deep connection to this music make him the perfect guide through one of classical music’s most beloved masterpieces.

Set within the ethereal surroundings of The Great Nave at The Monastery, this promises to be a truly unforgettable festive experience. Join us for an evening of pure festive joy, experiencing some of the most inspiring music ever written.

This show is guaranteed to sell out, so book early to avoid missing out!
