EVENT INFO
OVERVIEW
This is a lovely little Friday choir tradition. After our morning rehearsal we'll head over to the local church to sing to the locals. We tend to outnumber the audience so it's a lovely low pressure first gig of the season. If you need lyrics for any of the songs that's okay. It's just a nice warm, fuzzy sing together!
TIMINGS
11:45am Morning choir finishes and we start heading over to the church.
12:20pm Performance
12:45pm All done. Afterwards you can head off or join us for lunch! (info below).
DRESS CODE
No set dress code for this one although it's lovely to look Christmassy!! Xmas jumpers welcome. Last year as you can see from the main photo, lots of people wore reds and greens too!
PARKING / WALKING OVER
There is very very very limited parking at this one, so for most people the best bet will be to leave cars at the White Horse pub and wander over (hopefully for most people it's a 10 minute walk at most). I will have some people doing shuttle runs in cars too!!
