SUMMARY:A Celebration of Animals at Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Join us this Christmas for a very special and wonderfully ‘alternative’ Christmas concert\, as we welcome Ruth Hogan back to our beautiful Chapel. \nThis year\, Ruth’s theme is animals at Christmas. Some will be the familiar fluffy and adorable kind\, while others may be rather less cuddly! Expect a heart-warming and entertaining celebration\, with plenty of opportunities to join in with much-loved carols and Christmas songs. \nThe Chapel will be dressed in all its Christmas finery\, creating a wonderfully festive setting for an afternoon of music\, laughter and seasonal cheer. \nAdding an extra boost to the singing\, members of local community choirs\, led by Evelyn Sutherland\, will be joining us to help fill the Chapel with Christmas spirit. \nAfterwards\, you are warmly invited to stay and enjoy cake and mulled wine and continue the festive celebrations with friends. \nOur collection this year will be in aid of Greenacres Rescue\, an all-animal rescue centre based in beautiful Pembrokeshire. The charity is particularly close to Ruth’s heart. \nAlthough based in Pembrokeshire\, Greenacres Rescue’s work extends across the UK. The centre is dedicated to helping animals in need\, giving as many as possible the chance of a better and brighter future. \nSo come along\, raise your voices\, enjoy some festive fun and help us celebrate the animals who bring so much joy to our lives. \nWe look forward to welcoming you for a very special Christmas celebration!
