Thetford Singers Festive Favourites

Join us for a packed hour of festive favourites both traditional and contemporary on Wednesday 8th December 2021 at 7.30pm in Thetford Methodist Church. Last year the choir practised carols on oom and a number of firm fa ourites emerged from both these sessions and a little survey we conducted once we were back to ‘live’ rehearsals in September. From this, Musical Director Chris Parsons has built a wonderful programme packed full of traditional favourites, audience carols and some more recent seasonal songs. As part of the church’s Christmas Tree Festival the choir will perform these atmospheric Christmas songs without intermission, but with complimentary seasonal refreshments served afterwards and of course a chance to wander through the enchanted forest of lovingly decorated Christmas trees in the church. Tickets are £8 and available from the eaping are o ffice on ing Street, Thetford or online at; www.leapinghare.org
