Once Upon A Christmas: Bring the Magic of Music to Life This Festive Season

Welcome to the story behind NULCO’s upcoming Christmas concert, ‘Once Upon A Christmas’!

This holiday season, the Newcastle-under-Lyme Community Orchestra (NULCO) is preparing to bring our local community together through the power of live festive music. From timeless holiday classics to heartwarming symphonic arrangements, Once Upon A Christmas promises an unforgettable evening for families, friends, and music lovers of all ages.

Why We Need Your Support

As a registered non-profit charity (Charity No. 1216002), NULCO exists purely for the love of music, inclusion, and community spirit. Our musicians, organizers, and volunteers give their time and talent entirely for free to keep local live music vibrant and accessible to everyone in Newcastle-under-Lyme and beyond.

However, putting on a concert of this scale involves significant costs. Because we rely on the generosity of supporters like you, we are reaching out for much-needed donations to help make Once Upon A Christmas possible.

Your contributions go directly toward essential expenses, including:

Venue Costs: Securing a warm, safe, and accessible venue for our audience and performers.

Music & Licensing: Purchasing and renting the sheet music for our orchestra to rehearse and perform.

Publicity & Outreach: Printing flyers, posters, and spreading the word so our community knows where and when to join us.

How You Can Help

Every single contribution—no matter how small—makes a huge difference. By donating today, you are directly investing in local arts and helping us create festive memories for our community.

If you aren't able to donate right now, sharing this page with your friends, family, and social networks helps us immensely!

Thank you so much for your generosity and support. We can’t wait to celebrate the season with you at Once Upon A Christmas!
