Cara Dillon, whose ethereal voice has long been heralded as one of the finest to emerge from Ireland’s rich folk tradition, is set to embark on her much-loved Christmas tour, Upon A Winter’s Night. 

Now a cherished annual event, the show has become a seasonal staple for audiences across the UK and Ireland, Cara and her band will once again capture the mystery of Christmas with a collection of songs - both ancient and modern - providing a welcome reminder that the festive season can be about more than just commercialism.

 As modest and down-to-earth as they come, Cara admits to being taken aback by the runaway success of her Upon A Winter’s Night album, which reached No. 1 on the Indie Album Charts not once, but twice, upon its release in 2016. Now, in 2026, audiences from across the country will once again have the opportunity to witness this moving celebration of the festive season, with some new songs added to the setlist. For Dillon, Christmas is more than a holiday it’s a passion.
