Carol of the Bells is a beautifully crafted Ukrainian production (with English sub-titles). It is centred during World War II and tells the story of three families.
The organisers Kryla Culture have arranged this with the film producer so that funds raised can go toward the provision of a humanitarian aid van in Ukraine, to replace the one recently destroyed by fire.
If you’d like to come along and support the event, you can buy your ticket online here.

This is a joint event with the Royal College of Nursing and is part of their events series.
Refreshments will be available from 4pm.
Currently, one in five NHS staff are non‑UK nationals. Since the NHS was founded in 1948, workers from overseas have played a vital role in shaping and sustaining healthcare in the UK. Today, NHS staff come from more than 200 countries worldwide, with a similarly diverse picture seen across the social care workforce.
Join us to celebrate the achievements of international health and social care workers, and to hear directly from those who have come from across the globe to work in the NHS and social care.
The University Choir, under the direction of Matt Baker, hope to perform part of his recent work, ‘Wings of the Sky’.
Accessibility information: The event venue is accessed via a flight of steps. An accessible route is available for attendees with limited mobility. Please pre‑book to arrange access by contacting fhsc.histsoc@chester.ac.uk or calling 01244 512963.
