Charities to benefit from big festive celebration

A number of local charities are set to benefit from a big Christmas celebration taking place in the town on December 7.

A concert will be performed at the Methodist Church on featuring Of One Accord, a mixed choir from Shrewsbury, the Porthywaen Band plus other guest performers for an evening of non-stop festive nostalgia.

Organisers say the concert promises to deliver what it says in the title with numerous festive traditions incorporated and, with over 40 Christmas songs and carols, it promises to be an ideal pre-Christmas singalong. Festive clothing is also encouraged.

Charities to benefit include Lingen Davies, Severn Hospice, Inspire cancer support group, Veterans Orthopaedic Appeal, Parkinsons, Visually Impaired Club, Darby & Joan, Stroke Club to name a few.

Tickets are £10 each, including refreshments and a souvenier programme, and available from the following outlets: Welshpool Jewellers, Flaunt It, Stepchange, Alexanders, Severn Hospice Shop, Anne Smedley, Liz Gannon, Chris Jerman and representatives of the various clubs and charities.
