Wessex Cancer Support is inviting Islanders to get the festive season started at Newport Minster on Saturday 30 November with its Music at the Minster: Festive Favourites concert.
The night will feature a variety of local talent including Jay Eatwell, finalist of Channel 4’s The Piano, and Bella Brown, international award-winning harpist, with all proceeds going to support local people affected by cancer.
Amongst the evening of talent will be festive readings and classic Christmas hymns for all to enjoy, led by the Minsters’ own talented organist.
