Sunday – As usual, St Giles’ church choir extends a warm invitation to anyone who would like to sing traditional carols by candlelight for a service beginning at 6pm.

If you have sight-singing experience… you are more than welcome to come and sing on the day. Rehearsals start at 2pm but as long as you can arrive by 3.30pm you are very welcome. Music is available online in the Community Choir member’s area.

If you’re new to carol service singing… please arrive by 2pm on the day and you’re very welcome to come to rehearsals in advance – see below. It would be very helpful if you could come on the Friday rehearsal (11th Dec) beforehand. Thank you!
