Three Ship Festival - Revd Jassica in Concert

Blending festive favourites with inspirational songs, this concert is set in the beautiful surroundings of the Minster and offers a chance to pause, reflect, and enjoy wonderful live music as Christmas approaches.

Jessica Castillo-Burley, the newly appointed Vicar of the Great Yarmouth Team, was born in Nottingham and spent all her school years there. Before her call to ordained ministry, she studied Applied Chemistry at university and worked as an analytical chemist for a major pharmaceutical company. Since her ordination, she has lived and served in several wonderful churches across Shropshire. For her appointment in Great Yarmouth, she will be moving from Telford with her husband, Roy, and their son.

Jessica has a lifelong love of singing and has performed semi-professionally for most of her life, singing in many countries as a soloist and as part of various choirs and groups. She also enjoys setting up and running community choirs, which has been one of her most rewarding achievements, particularly in collaboration with vocal training initiatives.

This concert forms part of the Christmas 2025 in the Parish of Great Yarmouth – Three Ships Festival, which features a wide range of events.

"The Parish of Great Yarmouth is preparing with great excitement, and we would love you to join us. This year’s celebrations include the Three Ships Festival in the Minster, plenty of carols, school and community gatherings, and beautiful services to help share the joy of Christmas. Everyone is warmly invited!"
