About Carol Singers - Castle Events

Luxury Christmas Music That Leaves Guests Spellbound. Elevate Your Event with Opera-Quality Carolers.

Public liability insurance of £2000000 million

Most people hire Christmas carolers expecting a few songs in the background. The problem? Many groups are under-rehearsed, amateur, or sound flat in larger venues. Instead of creating a magical atmosphere, they fade into the background. That’s where Castle Events is different. With over 15 years of professional experience, our singers have performed with the UK’s top companies - English National Opera, Royal Opera House, Glyndebourne, Opera North, the Royal Albert Hall, Garsington Opera, and Grange Park Opera. We know how to deliver polished, spine-tingling performances that transform an event into an unforgettable experience. Here’s how we do it: • Tailored setlists – you choose the vibe: relaxed background, upbeat and lively, or full feature performance. We match the energy of your event, moment by moment. • Flexible packages – from a stylish duo with backing tracks, to rich a cappella harmonies with a trio or quartet, right through to The Grand Festive Opera Experience - a show-stopping operatic performance that leaves guests spellbound. • Professional delivery – our performers are world-class, not weekend hobbyists. We bring the same level of preparation and artistry to your event that we bring to the UK’s biggest opera houses. The result? Your guests don’t just hear carols - they feel transported into a festive world that’s elegant, warm, and unforgettable. Here’s the bottom line: when you book Castle Events, you get the highest standard of Christmas entertainment available. We handle everything: from planning and preparation to seamless on-the-day delivery. All you do is tell us the mood you want, and we take care of the rest. Important: We only take on a limited number of Christmas bookings each year to protect quality and availability. December dates go fast. If you want a premium Christmas music experience, the time to book is now.

Our event went brilliantly well, with no small part of that success down to Andrea! Andrea was so talented and entertaining and gave the whole event an added layer of festive joy and loveliness.

Castle Singers absolutely made our Christmas party, wowing our guests with a fantastic festive medley of carols and songs; finishing off with a fabulous singalong of 12 Days of Christmas! Thoroughly recommend them - brilliant singers; great fun; thoroughly professional and very nice people too. Thank you so very much.

For years I've wanted Andrea Tweedale Soprano to sing for me. A couple of weeks ago that finally happened! Andrea was the soprano soloist for the Johnson 'Missa Celebra' and she was sublime. Thank you Andrea.
