2025 has been a great year for the choir. Thank you to everybody who has performed in or with the choir, everybody who has helped out before, during or after performances & everybody who has supported us this year. We look forward to an equally wonderful 2026, where we hope to see you all again!

The performances come thick and fast this time of year. Next up - Handel’s Messiah. A tradition for us to perform this in the lead up to Christmas, it usually sells well so grab your tickets quick!
