Christmas Songs round the Christmas Tree

The Scarborough Wellbeing Choir are leading a Christmas singaround at Haddock Hideaway on Saturday 19 December, from 3:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon. It's just what it sounds like: Christmas songs sung around the tree, with the choir leading the way and everyone else joining in. If you've got a few favourite carols you know by heart, you'll fit right in.

The afternoon is run as an unhosted public event by the hotel, so it's a relaxed, open affair rather than a formal concert. The choir takes the lead, and the rest of the room fills in the gaps. It's a singalong, not a performance, so you're expected to open your mouth and get involved.

There's a bit more to it than just the singing, too. Tickets are £5, and that includes a mug of mulled wine and a mince pie to keep you going through the afternoon. If mulled wine isn't your thing, soft drinks are available as well. And since it's a fundraiser, all the profits from ticket sales go directly to support the choir, so your five quid does a bit more than just buy you a snack.

It's a Saturday afternoon, so it works as a standalone thing or as a way to kick off your evening. Haddock Hideaway is on Queen's Parade in Scarborough, YO12 7HH. The singaround runs from 3:00 to 5:00, tickets are £5 including the mulled wine and mince pie, and all the proceeds go to the choir.
