The beloved ‘St Agnes Fountain’ (Chris Leslie\, Chris White and Julie Matthews) have toured every December since 2001 bar one\, and we all know which one that was! \n\n\n\nNow they are ready to tread the tinsel boards once more this December\, bringing Christmas (and a new CD) to the nation. \n\n\n\nChristmas\, as they say\, starts with St. Agnes Fountain. Presenting carols with a curve. \n\n\n\nSince their first get-together\, to record the eponymous St Agnes Fountain album in 2001\, the quartet\, David Hughes\, Fairport Convention’s Chris Leslie\, and multi-award-winning duo Chris While and Julie Matthews\, have brought musical invention and laughter to the stardust atmosphere of the season. \n\n\n\nIn 2020\, David decided to leave the band and\, very sadly\, passed away in 2023. He will be sorely missed… \n\n\n\nChris\, Chris\, and Julie will be keeping the Christmas Aggie spirit alive and working as a trio\, celebrating 24 years together again this year. \n\n\n\nAlthough the albums accompany the putting up of a thousand Christmas trees throughout Britain and around the globe as their reputation reaches further afield\, it is\, without question\, their magical live performances that have endeared them to an ever growing audience (tickets were again being sold for this year’s tour as the curtain fell last year). \n\n\n\nChristmas\, as they say\, starts with…… St Agnes Fountain… Fa la la la la la la la la! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £26.00 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nThursday 04 December 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Mill Arts Centre\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nThe Mill Arts Centre is the cultural hub for Banbury and the surrounding area. \n\n\n\nAs the only dedicated arts provision in the area\, it aims to inspire creativity and enrich the lives of the communities by providing a high-quality\, varied artistic\, educational and participatory programme. \n\n\n\nIt plays a significant role in the town’s cultural\, social and economic development by offering the community the chance to engage with and be entertained by several art forms. \n\n\n\nThe Mill Arts Centre offers an exciting live events programme\, including theatre\, dance\, music\, comedy\, film\, workshops and classes.
