Choirs across the West Country will open their doors for family and friends to join them for their annual Christmas Carol Celebration Concerts in the next few weeks.

Bath-based music man Grenville Jones started his Good Afternoon Choirs twelve years ago and there are now twenty-four across the West of England. You can find a Christmas Celebration Concert near you below. Everyone is welcome – come and join the choirs for some festive favourites and get into the Christmas spirit.

Each Good Afternoon Choir raises money for local charities or organisations nominated by the members each year. So far this year, the choirs have raised nearly £18,000 for various local organisations across the West Country, with that total set to increase with retiring collections taking place at each of our Christmas Celebrations.

The choir is coming to a venue near you!
