OVERVIEW
Free outdoor event on Berkhamsted High Street with arts, crafts, mulled wine, mince pies and most importantly: US!!! That's 'us' as in Choir On The Green rather than the United States, who will not be attending. That said, there will be at least one foreigner in attendance: Father Christmas has announced he'll be there too, now the supreme court have ruled that there's no risk of him being deported to Rwanda.
LOCATION
High Street - main stage. Last time it was outside WHSmith. I'll keep you posted if anything changes this time!
PARTICIPATION
Everyone is welcome, but there's limited space on stage... so we'll be about half on stage and about half on the floor flash mob style!! Hopefully a really lovely moment in the festivities.

Everyone who wants to sing at this is welcome. For reference though, here's everyone who signed up through the website. If you're not on the list, but want to join us, feel free to just rock up and join in! It's worth noting we won't all fit on stage. About half the choir who don't fit on stage can sing from street level and make it a lovely flashmob!
