They are free online events hosted by Cancer Research UK to celebrate the progress made possible thanks to gifts in Wills. This premiere features inspiring talks, music performances, and updates on our world-class research. And will be shown on two different dates.
You can join us on either:
Thursday 4 December 2025 (Afternoon – 1.30pm to 2.30pm)
or
Sunday 7 December 2025 (Evening – 7pm to 8pm)
Each premiere event will last approximately one hour.
The event is pre-recorded to ensure a smooth experience, but it will be broadcast as a scheduled premiere, so you can enjoy it alongside other supporters, family or friends.
