Festival Finale of Carols with John Potter

Come together for a festive finale to the Winter Weekend with this musical celebration of Christmas carols. Professional singer and author, John Potter presents his historical guide to carols (Christmas Carols - An English Enchantment) taking us from their beginnings as secular songs sung in medieval and Tudor courts, through the Victorian era where they were used to encourage revellers into church, to their place at the heart of our modern Christmas traditions.

Of course there'll be plenty of opportunity for carol singing too. A local choir will lead the music to match the storytelling, with a chance for everyone to join in and share in the Christmas spirit.
