Tickets nearing sell-out

With just over two weeks before the York Community Carol Concert just over 100 tickets remain unsold and a sell-out audience is expected.

Staff at York Barbican are encouraging those attending to arrive early. It is one of the busiest weekends for shopping and St Nicholas Fayre is still being held in the city centre.

The Barbican are opening the doors early at 1.00 pm and catering facilities will be available for those early arrivals.

Due to new in-house security procedures - bag searches are in operation and staff are asking people not to bring along large bags or back packs as they will not be allowed inside the auditorium.

Car parking is always difficult at this time of year - so please allow plenty of time to get to the Barbican for a 2.30 pm start.
