SASH Christmas Candlelight Concert

Join SASH for one of our Christmas Candlelight Concerts this December and enjoy an evening of festive music in beautiful surroundings, all while helping prevent youth homelessness across York and North Yorkshire.

Returning for 2026, our candlelight concerts will bring people together for uplifting performances from local choirs, surrounded by the warm glow of candlelight. Whether you're looking for a festive evening with family or friends, these community concerts are a lovely way to begin the Christmas season while supporting a local cause.

Why your support matters

For 30 years, SASH has helped young people across York and North Yorkshire find somewhere safe to stay when they have nowhere else to turn. The festive period can be an especially difficult time for young people facing homelessness, and the support of our local community helps us be there when it matters most.

By coming along to a Christmas Candlelight Concert, you're doing more than enjoying an evening of festive music. You're helping SASH provide safe accommodation, stability and support to young people who need it.

We look forward to welcoming you for a magical evening of music, community and Christmas spirit!
