Dads' Christmas Choir

Dads and father figures — it’s time to tune up (or just turn up!) and join the Dads’ Christmas Choir to perform the much-loved carol O Come All Ye Faithful at the Christmas Concert on Friday 28 November. Backed by the brilliant 110-strong Christmas Band, this is your chance to swap the audience for the action and bring some festive flair! No auditions, no solos — just laughter, lyrics, and loads of Christmas cheer.

To join the fun, please contact Kevin Hewitt for further information.
