Dave Nelson’s Christmas Singalong
A round-the-piano family celebration

The Christmas Singalong, which raises funds for Wainsgate Chapel, will be held at Wadsworth Community Centre this year.

It’s more than 30 years since Dave Nelson started the Singalong as a semi-regular fixture in the Hebden Bridge festive calendar. Back then it was held at the Nutclough House Hotel since when it’s had various venues including most recently Hebden Bridge Town Hall.

It’s an old-fashioned, ‘round the piano’ opportunity to sing along to all those favourite Christmas songs and carols with interjections from Wainsgate Waits who’ll sing some carols in 4-part harmony accompanied by Jiggerie Folkerie who will also play as folk arrive. Mainly though, the event is all about people getting together and singing with gusto to welcome in the festive season.

There’ll be mince pies, mulled wine and plenty of Yuletide cheer.

And don’t forget there’s our fabulous ‘Advent at Wainsgate’ event on Saturday 30 November 11-5.

There’s a regular bus service to the end of Wainsgate Lane and disabled parking only at the venue. We regret that whilst there is an accessible toilet on the ground floor there is, as yet, no lift to the Sunday School room.
