Not to be missed – Our annual charity Christmas punting event is back for its sixth year! Join us whilst we glide along the river Cam listening to the stunning St Johns the Evangelist Choir singing Christmas Carols – what could be more festive?

Get yourself into the Christmas spirit with our Christmas Carols on the river,  the punting tour will last for approximately one hour along the college backs in Cambridge.  During the tour, you will be entertained with traditional Christmas Carols, including some well-known tunes all beautifully sung by this fantastic choir.

We are pleased to donate all proceeds from ticket sales to Cambridgeshire Community Foundation is a local charity working to improve the quality of life for people across our county. They identify the most critical needs of local communities and award grants to non-profit organisations which are addressing those needs.

In 2018 we raised an incredible £572 for Amnesty International and in 2019 we raised an impressive £553 for EACH. After a break in 2020 due to COVID, we came back stronger and raised a fantastic £770 for Blue Smile in 2021 and £830 for Cambridge Aid in 2022. In 2023, we raised £1,200 for Tom’s Trust. Let’s see what we can achieve this year!

In addition, each year, we donate £120 to the amazing St John the Evangelist Church Choir which was used to support their homelessness project.
