Experience London’s Highest Carol Recital with Gareth Malone
This festive season, Gareth Malone OBE will make history as he conducts a carol recital from the top of The Shard—an astonishing 78 floors above London. On the 14th of November, Malone and his hand-picked choir will perform We Wish You a Merry Christmas, chosen as the nation’s favourite carol, to mark the switch-on of The Shard’s iconic Christmas lights.
From 5:30 pm at Rose Court in Southwark, guests will enjoy festive treats before the lights come on at 7 pm. The show will light up London’s skyline with four festive light displays every hour until New Year’s Eve. Each sequence, inspired by Christmas classics, will be visible from over 40 miles away, transforming The Shard into a beacon of holiday cheer.
As Gareth says, “Christmas is truly a time where singing can bring so many people together, and to lead a performance from such an iconic stage—literally the top of the UK—is an excellent way to kick off the season.”
