Now a firm fixture on the Manchester musical calendar, the Manchester Festive Happening returns to the restored Wesleyan chapel of Albert Hall for what promises to be a joyous, uplifting occasion.

The concert presents a gospel twist on the traditional Christmas carol concert, courtesy of the AMC Gospel Choir. Its programme features Handel’s Soulful Messiah, plus Joy to the World, Joyful Joyful and Amazing Grace, alongside both traditional carols and gospel hymns – with plenty of minced pies and mulled wine also on the cards.
