Christmas Cracker Supporting Local Charities Since 2001

Since 2001, Cirencester Band’s annual A Christmas Cracker concert has supported charities and good causes in and around Cirencester.

Each year, the Band selects a local cause to benefit from the concert, which typically raises around £1,200 to support its work. Over the years, the Christmas Cracker has supported a wide range of organisations making a difference within our local community.

If you represent a charity or good cause based in or serving the Cirencester area and would like to be considered as the beneficiary of a future Christmas Cracker concert, please contact the Band Secretary.

This year’s concert will be in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support Gloucestershire.
