Due to the weather being uncertain tomorrow, the Pop-Up choir event will now take place at Castle View Care Home - all still welcome from 2.30pm!

‼️ Important information regarding tomorrow's Pop Up Choir - CHANGE OF VENUE ‼️

With rain in the forecast and the ground looking set to become rather soggy, we’ve made the decision to move tomorrow’s event to Castle View.

We’ll still make the most of the afternoon outdoors, with chairs set up on the terrace, before heading inside to enjoy tea and cake together. A great compromise that means we can enjoy the event while keeping everyone safe and comfortable.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow — come rain or shine, the show must go on! ✨🎶
