Hackney Singers’ annual Christmas carol concert takes place next Saturday (December 18) in De Beauvoir.

The mixed choir with over 150 members which members don’t need to pass an audition to join, will sing modern and traditional carols and will give people the chance to join in with their favourites.

Donations will go towards winter shelters for the homeless.

Dan Ludford Thomas will direct the evening in St Peter’s Church in De Beauvoir Road on Saturday December 18 at 7.30pm.
