Mayor's Charity Concert to Bring an Unmissable Night of Music, Community and Belonging
Ards and North Down Borough Council is delighted to announce the Mayor's Charity Concert, taking place on Saturday 28 March 2026 at 7.30pm in Bangor Elim Church.
This uplifting evening promises a vibrant celebration of local talent, community spirit and the Borough's shared commitment to inclusivity and belonging. Audiences will enjoy an inspiring night of performances from some of the area's most loved musical groups and musicians.
A Showcase of Local Talent
The concert brings together a wonderful line‑up of performers, including:
Ards Comhaltas | Bangor Ladies Choir | Jackie Rainey and Emma D Drummer | Bangor Ukes | Donaghadee Male Voice Choir | Bangor Grammar School Jazz Band | Orchardville Band and Makaton Choir
From traditional melodies to jazz arrangements, and from choral harmonies to uplifting community ensembles, the evening offers something for everyone.
The Mayor of Ards and North Down, Councillor Gillian McCollum said:
"This concert is a celebration of who we are as a community — diverse, welcoming and stronger together. The theme of Belonging is especially important to me in my Mayoral year, and I can think of no better way to express that than through music that brings people of all backgrounds together. I am deeply grateful to every performer taking part, and to everyone purchasing a ticket - we're really looking forward to welcoming you."
Every ticket purchased directly supports life‑changing work right here in our community, with all proceeds supporting the Mayor's three chosen charities, each carrying out essential work across the Borough:
Orchardville - empowering individuals with learning disabilities and autism
St Vincent de Paul - supporting local families experiencing hardship
Women's Aid North Down and Ards - providing safety and refuge for women and children
The Mayor's Charity Concert is set to be a joyful night of harmony, celebration and connection. Whether attending with friends, family or as part of a local group, everyone is warmly invited to be part of this special evening.
