Dave Nelson's Christmas Singalong
Sunday December 7th at 5.30pm (doors open 5pm)

Tickets available from 7 November £10, £4 U18s

A jolly, raucous festive finale to the Wainsgate Advent Weekend, pianist Dave Nelson’s annual Christmas Singalong is an old-fashioned, ‘round the piano’ opportunity to sing along to all those favourite Christmas songs and carols. As usual there’ll be some 4-part carols  from Wainsgate Waits, but mainly the event is all about mince pies, mulled wine and plenty of Yuletide cheer with everyone getting together and singing with gusto to welcome in the festive season.

All proceeds go support the Wainsgate Chapel Charity and help to ensure a sustainable future for Wainsgate Chapel
