The star of the Oxford-set television series Endeavour will make a surprise return to the city later this year.

Shaun Evans played Endeavour Morse for more than nine seasons of the ITV crime drama from its first episode in 2012 to its climax in 2023.

The actor was often filming in Oxford with fans spotting him at locations such as Radcliffe Camera and Christ Church College.

He will now make a special appearance at Christ Church Cathedral in December for Macmillan’s carol service, Follow the Stars.

“Join us as we welcome in the 2024 Christmas season with a special evening of your favourite carols and choral music performed by the world-class voices of the Oxford Bach Soloists.

“We are pleased to announce that tickets are now on sale for this year's concert so make sure you purchase your tickets soon so you don't miss out on this spectacular evening.”
