Mayor to Attend Choral Society’s Seasonal Celebration

The Mayor and Mayoress of Hailsham will be getting into the Christmas spirit when they join in the celebrations of the Hailsham Choral Society’s annual Christmas Carol Concert.

Councillor Nigel Coltman will be attending the popular concert, taking place at the Civic Community Hall in Vicarage Lane, Hailsham, on Thursday 17^th December from 7.30pm.

The concert will incorporate a mixture of old and new carols with some audience participation and there will be mulled wine and mince pies at the interval, as well as a Christmas gift stall.

This year, the Society’s retiring collection will be in aid of Furniture Now and a representative of the charity will give a short introduction to their work.

Mayor Councillor Coltman encourages people to go along and enjoy the festive spirit: “The Christmas Carol Concert, always very popular, promises to be a very festive occasion for everyone, featuring performances by some accomplished choristers and musicians. The line-up is second to none and guaranteed to delight the entire family.”

“The Hailsham Choral Society has provided a fantastic service to the community over the years, and the Mayoress and I are delighted to be attending this special performance.”

Simon Marsden, the chairman of Hailsham Choral Society, said, “It has been a very busy year for Hailsham Choral and I hope our audiences have enjoyed it as much as we have. We’re delighted to round it off with our Christmas concert which this year is called ‘Carols for the Young at Heart’.”

“Once again we’re very happy to welcome the Mayor and Mayoress and we hope that everyone will come and join us for a fun-filled start to Christmas.”

Admission is priced at £10 per person (£5 for under 16s) and includes a glass of mulled wine and mince pie. Tickets are available from The Camera Centre in Hailsham and via wegottickets.com, subject to availability. They will also be available at the door.
