We're not the only ones celebrating our 40th season - you may have noticed a little show called #Eastenders has also just turned 40! 🎉 Let's look back on that Christmassy episode we were in back in 2013. As you might expect, it's all carols and crying... and Carol's crying 😭

One week until our highly anticipated performance of JS Bach's St John Passion at St Albans Cathedral (8 Feb, 7.30pm). With wonderful soloists, period instrument orchestra, our own symphony choir and the cathedral's glorious moon installation, this will be a very special event
