Cara Dillon — Upon A Winter’s Night: A Christmas Tradition Rooted in Wonder
Over the past decade, Upon A Winter’s Night has become much more than a Christmas tour. For many audiences, it has become part of Christmas itself, a much-loved annual tradition and a return, year after year, to music that offers space for reflection, wonder and connection.
Now, in its tenth anniversary year, Cara Dillon brings this celebrated show to Union Chapel once more: an evening of darkness and light, and the mystery at the heart of Christmas.

Released in 2016, and entering at number one on the Indie Album Charts, Upon A Winter’s Night quickly established itself as a distinctive and atmospheric way into Christmas. Drawing on Celtic hymns, ancient carols, traditional folk songs and original material, it reaches beyond the familiar sounds of the season towards something older, deeper and far more enduring.
There is a particular stillness at the heart of these songs: the darkness of winter, the promise of light, the joy of birth and renewal. Woven together with Dillon’s unmistakable voice and the moving musicality of her band, they create an evening that is both intimate and expansive.
For Dillon, that spiritual dimension remains central. Her relationship with this repertoire is deeply felt, and her voice brings an extraordinary clarity to music in which the sacred and the earthly have always existed side by side. It’s this combination that has made Upon A Winter’s Night such an essential part of Christmas for so many.
