King's Men Singing on the River 2026
What is King's Men Singing on the River 2026?
As the summer sun begins to set on the unmistakable silhouette of King's College Chapel, The King's Men take to the water on a fleet of punts to perform a spectacular programme of madrigals, folksongs, and contemporary choral classics.
So, pack your picnics and drinks and join us on the river for one of the most iconic events of the University calendar.
