About Us

The original UK Big Christmas Wind Orchestra was formed in 2012 to bring together a range of people into a scratch built band and ensemble. 

What started with perhaps less than 30 people, sheepishly gathered on the edge of a Christmas market, has now become an enormous regular annual event in London.

Up to 300 performers bring Christmas cheer to all participants and audience members, who take part in the UK's biggest annual scratch wind orchestra and choir performing Christmas carols and festive favourites every year,

As of 2023, the event also takes place somewhere in Luxembourg each year!

In 2015, the London chapter added a choir to their events, which has been very successful. Performing alongside the wind orchestra with a selection of delightful descants and deep basses they really encourage everyone in the audience to sing along.
