About the festival

Dear Choir Leader, Administrator or singer.

 

We are looking forward to welcoming you on the 9th or 10th March for the second Sing Away Community Choir Festival.

 

 We can hardly wait to showcase the amazing songs we have handpicked for this special event.

 

We would like to share the proposed timetable for the day with you, which we will endeavor to stick to as closely as possible. As a friendly reminder, if you plan to sing in the concert and have not informed us of your song choice, please do so at your earliest convenience.

We will provide water throughout the day, and while there is a café on the premises providing tea and coffee, we advise that attendees do not solely rely on it as queues may be lengthy. 

 

Alternatively, there are a variety of local cafes in the area, and we also have a breakout space and outdoor area available should you wish to bring your refreshments.

 

We have had a few queries about car parks. This is the closest car park (no height restrictions) with another one a five minute walk away.
