Christmas Carols

After the spectacular success of Bonfire Night our final event for the year is almost upon us, Christmas Carols in the garden. They will take place next Tuesday night, December 2nd, starting at 6.45pm (so arrive around 6.30).

The event takes place next to the Christmas tree at the North end the garden, which you will see lit up in the evenings. A small band from the Salvation Army come to our garden and lead us in a selection of Christmas Carols, and there will also be warm mince pies, mulled wine and hot chocolate on sale to keep you warm, with all proceeds and donations going to the Salvation Army. Over the last few years we’ve raised over £8,000 for the Salvation Army’s City Centre Homeless Project.

We also encourage you to bring along food, clothing and blanket parcels to donate, which we forward to The Salvation Army to distribute to the lonely and elderly in time for Christmas. Food should be non-perishable (i.e tins, etc) and clothing and blankets should be put in plastic bags to protect them from the elements. Please bring them to Tony and Jan Stern’s flat at Basement, 55D Warrington Crescent, or bring them to the tree before the concert begins and leave them behind the stall serving the pies and drinks.

We should all obviously keep an eye on the weather forecast, but at the moment, for what it is worth, it looks like it’s going to be a mild night with a slight chance of rain. In addition to warm clothes, you will need to bring a torch, so you can read the songsheets we supply. It’s a really lovely evening for those that haven’t been before, we would encourage you to come and it’s a great event for kids as well. See you out there!
