Local Vocals, live at Bridgewater Hall

Saturday 1st August 2026 @ Bridgewater Hall, Manchester

This show will be a spectacular performance featuring hundreds of Local Vocals choir members, singing from the stage and choir stalls, accompanied by live musicians (including a string quartet!) and led by our brilliant team of choir leaders.

Exact timings are TBC — once we know how many singers are taking part, we’ll be able to confirm these.

🎟️ Tickets will be available for friends and family via the Bridgewater Hall box office.

💛 All profits from the show will be donated to North West Cancer Research.

SET LIST 🎧 Rehearsal tracks (excluding summer term songs) are already available in the members’ area, so you can start practising now! Please note that we’re unable to accept feedback or make changes to the set list.

We’ll be hosting a BIG REHEARSAL during the summer term to sing through all songs for the show but members are expected to practise at home so they are show-ready!

Details of the big rehearsal date and location will be shared as soon as possible.
