Fownhope Village Carols

STOP PRESS!! This week we are very happy that we will be singing at COO CORNER before going along to the New Inn. So come and join us for carols at Coo Corner from 3.30 – 4ish and at the New Inn from 4.15 – 5ish. Join us for some village carol singing!

There is a tradition that started in the villages around Sheffield for people to meet in a local pub in the run up to Christmas and have fun singing Christmas folk carols – the ‘Village Carols’.

With support from the Fownhope Community Folk Choir, we’ll be singing some traditional Herefordshire Carols (collected by Ella Mary Leather and Ralph Vaughan Williams). As well as a few favourites from the Sheffield ‘Village Carol’ collection – and lots of your best loved Christmas traditional carols.

All the family and all ages welcome!

We will also have a quick warm up / some song learning for anyone who is interested at the Fownhope Pavillion from 2 – 3pm in the afternoon before the pub carolling.

If you would like to join the Fownhope Community Folk Choir sessions at the Pavilion – or for any more information about the Village Carols – please email kate@aluladown.uk

For the sessions at the Pavilion we usually ask for a small donation of around £5 per session towards costs.

And for the pub Village Carols just come along – song sheets will be provided at the pub so that everyone can easily join in.
