Since there will be no cover over our performance space, we may have to cancel in severe wet weather.

What about Covid-19?

You must not attend if you have any covid-19 symptoms, a positive covid-19 test result, or if you have been told to isolate.

Our primary covid mitigation is that we are completely outside in the open air. This should maximise ventilation.

We encourage you to wear a face covering when in a crowded area (e.g. queueing for music, finding your seat), except while performing.

We also encourage you to take a lateral flow test before attending the event.

Chairs will be laid out with as much distance as possible between them, aiming for 1m+.

Singers should stand in a single line, rather than facing each other or singing directly towards anyone else.

Hand sanitiser will be available when collecting your music pack.

You can view our Covid-19 risk assessment alongside our main event risk assessment.

Sheet music:

We use the "New Christmas Praise" carol books for most of our carols, plus a few extra exciting pieces.

We will provide all of the music for you on the day, but if you'd like to practice the music in advance, the carol books can be purchased from many suppliers.

For example (we don't recommend any supplier over any other):

The few other songs that are not in the New Christmas Praise book sadly cannot be shared with you in advance, for copyright reasons.
