Our seasonal journey across the UK continues with a crisp advent morning at the stunningly beautiful Cannon Hall in Barnsley – the Georgian country house decked out in full Christmas regalia. Sarah Walker is joined by the illustrious Grimethorpe Colliery Band for joyful festive brass band tunes and a feast of wintery Yorkshire music and carols, plus she visits the Hall's walled garden, bringing back memories of childhood Christmasses. Plus, Radio 3's specialist seasonal series of Essential Carols launches - each day, a range of musicians, actors and writers, including Bryn Terfel, Errollyn Wallen, Charlotte Ritchie, Reverend Richard Coles, Elim Chan, and Dr Sian Williams will introduce their favourite carol, sharing their personal anecdotes.
