Festive music at Gibside Chapel with William & Julie: acoustic folk duo

Soak up the atmosphere and seasonal spirit with traditional Yuletide tunes in Gibside Chapel.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Step into the candlelit warmth of Gibside Chapel, beautifully dressed in Georgian festive finery, for an evening of soul-stirring folk music. William & Julie bring a rich tapestry of sound—fiddle, flute, bajooki, guitar, and more—woven from Irish reels, North East traditions, and contemporary folk. With decades of experience and a flair for spontaneity, no two performances are ever the same. Expect heartfelt melodies, foot-tapping rhythms, and a joyful celebration of winter’s magic in one of Gibside’s most atmospheric spaces.
