Christmas concerts with award-winning P&O Ferries Choir

Award-winning P&O Ferries Choir are staging two Christmas concerts this year, one in Dover and the other in Deal, and then singing at a third in Whitfield.

The first is on Sunday (December 15th) at St Paul's Roman Catholic Church in Maison Dieu Road, Dover. The next night, Monday (16th) they will be performing at St Mary's Church at Walmer.

Both concerts start at 7.30pm (doors open at 7pm) and tickets, which are £5 for adults, will be available at the door. Children are admitted free.

The choir - winners of the BBC television competition to find the best workplace choir in 2013 - will be performing a blend of traditional and popular Christmas pieces sung beautifully in the tranquil surroundings of these two churches.

Choir members have already been busy this Christmas season, singing at Maxton Women's Institute in Dover, and then before a specially-invited audience at an event organised by the Dover smART Project earlier this week.

On Wednesday (December 18) they will be joining with local school children to sing in the Grand Marquee at the Leaf Hotel at Whitfield.

The event is from 5 to 7pm, with pupils from Priory Fields singing at 5.15pm, St Mary's Primary School at 5.30pm, the Whitfield Aspen School at 5.45pm and Langdon Primary School at 6pm.
