Christmas carol concerts and a wreath-making workshop will bring supporters together while raising vital funds for Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance (LNAA).

Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance has launched its programme of Christmas events, inviting communities across Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire to celebrate the festive season while supporting the charity’s life-saving work.

The programme includes Christmas Carol Concerts at St Mary’s Church in Nottingham’s Lace Market on Tuesday the 8 December and at Lincoln Cathedral on Thursday the 10 December. Both evenings will offer favourite carols, festive readings and an opportunity to hear from people connected to LNAA, including crew members and former patients.

With two of the region’s most recognisable churches providing memorable settings, the concerts will give supporters the chance to pause amid the rush of December, come together with family and friends, and enjoy a seasonal celebration with real purpose.

Supporters can also take part in a Christmas Wreath Making Workshop at LNAA’s headquarters on Sunday the 15 November. Guided by an experienced florist, guests will use fresh seasonal foliage, ribbons and decorations to create a wreath to take home, with views of the helipad offering a special behind-the-scenes connection to the charity’s missions.

From the 4th December, our four charity shops will be opening their doors for the festive season, packed with seasonal stock, eye-catching Christmas window displays, and plenty of festive gifts and decorations. From Christmas jigsaws and sparkling party outfits to unique seasonal treasures, there’s something for everyone to help get into the Christmas spirit.

LNAA brings advanced pre-hospital care directly to the scene of serious incidents across Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire by helicopter and critical care car. The charity relies on public support, and every ticket or booking helps its clinical crews remain ready to respond when every second counts.

Georgia Watson, LNAA Events Manager said, “Our Carol Concerts and wreath-making workshops are among our favourite festive events of the year. They provide a wonderful opportunity to come together with our supporters, celebrate the lifesaving work of Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, and enjoy some seasonal cheer. Whether you’re singing along to festive music or creating a beautiful handmade wreath, you’ll also hear first-hand how your support is making a difference. By the end, everyone leaves feeling inspired and firmly in the Christmas spirit.”
