Putney’s festive season is calling for local performers to help create a magical Christmas atmosphere as the town’s Ice Sculpture Trail returns on Saturday 29th November. Positively Putney is seeking singers, musicians and performers to bring the event to life with live music throughout the day.
Whether you’re a solo vocalist who loves Christmas carols, an acoustic guitarist with festive favourites, or an instrumentalist eager to share your talent with the community, this is your chance to perform as part of one of Putney’s biggest winter celebrations.
The Ice Sculpture Trail has become a highlight of Putney’s Christmas calendar, drawing families and visitors to explore stunning frozen artworks displayed throughout the town centre. This year, organisers want to enhance the experience by weaving live music into the trail, creating magical moments as people discover each sculpture.
What performers can expect
This is a volunteer opportunity to give back to your community during the festive season. There is an important caveat: performers won’t be paid and collections aren’t permitted on the day. But you will gain something valuable: the chance to perform for your neighbours, showcase your talent to potentially hundreds of people, and contribute to an event that brings genuine joy to Putney. Plus Putney.news will be on hand to tell performers’ stories.
You’ll be allocated a specific time slot and location along the trail, ensuring you’re part of the organised programme rather than competing with other performers. The exact logistics – performance lengths, specific locations, and technical requirements – are being finalised, so contact the organisers to find out what to expect.
The event creates a unique performance setting. It’s outdoor winter performing, which brings its own challenges, but also creates an atmosphere you won’t find in any indoor venue.
How to get involved
If you’re interested in performing, email marketing@positivelyputney.co.uk as soon as possible. Slots are likely to fill quickly, so early contact gives you the best chance of securing your preferred time.
When you reach out, be ready to share what you’d like to perform, whether you’re a solo act or group, and what equipment you’ll need. The organisers will work with performers to match talents with the right moments in the trail.
All ages and experience levels are welcome – from accomplished musicians to enthusiastic school groups. What matters most is your desire to share music with the community and enhance Putney’s festive celebrations.
Why this matters for Putney
Events like the Ice Sculpture Trail aren’t just about entertainment – they’re about building community pride and bringing people together during the winter months. Local performers add an authentic Putney flavour.
These events also offer something money can’t buy: the chance to build your local following, gain performance experience in a supportive environment, and feel the response of an appreciative audience, as well as connect with Putney’s creative scene.

The Ice Sculpture Trail gives you a ready-made audience, a festive setting, and the satisfaction of knowing you’ve helped create Christmas magic for your neighbours.
