St Albans' Mayor invites you to a traditional Christmas concert

Monday, 7 December 2015 15:28

The Mayor of St Albans City and District, Cllr Salih Gaygusuz, invites you to join him for a traditional Christmas carol concert.

The concert will take place beside the war memorial at the top of St Peter’s Street, on Sunday 13 December, from 4pm.

Jake Wood, famous for playing Max Branning in the BBC’s "EastEnders" helped the Mayor prepare for the event, but will not be making an appearance.

The event will raise funds for Rennie Grove Hospice Care, one of the Mayor’s charities, and a collection for the charity will be held during the service.

People attending the service are invited to remember loved ones "who are no longer with us" by lighting a small candle during the concert.

Mulled wine and mince pies will be on sale at The Blacksmiths Arms pub nearby and all funds raised will go to Rennie Grove Hospice Care.

Cllr Salih Gaygusuz, Mayor of St Albans City and District, said: "Please come to share in this community carol concert where we will sing together about the real meaning of Christmas.

"The themes for my mayoral year are love and peace, which seem especially relevant this year.

"During the concert there will be the opportunity to light a candle in remembrance of someone dear to you.

"Everyone is welcome to join us and help raise funds for Rennie Grove Hospice Care."
