Yes it is almost Christmas but before we get to the traditional candle-lit Christmas Services at St. Nicolas (details are published by the churchwardens – pevenseywarden@btinternet.com if you want to be on their mailing list), there is a concert on 6th December for the Restoration project: ‘Project 16’. I wrote to you about this concert a couple of weeks ago you may recall.
Sunday 6th December: Vivace! Seasonal Concert @ 3:00PM – St. Nicolas Patronal Festival Day and Parish lunch (bring and share) at Marsh Hall.
Vivace! is an ‘a cappella’ choir (they sing without instrumental accompaniment but can make instrumental vocal sounds). They have a wide repertoire of light and ‘serious’ pieces and this year for the first time the audience will be invited to join in with some of the items. So it should be a good, fun afternoon beginning at 3:00PM. Tickets £10: in aid of the Restoration Fund. Tea and home—made cake follow!
Wednesday 16th December: 7:00PM
Another opportunity to open up the lungs and vocal chords with Carol singing in Pevensey village, starting at 7:00 PM under the Christmas tree at the entrance to Pevensey Castle from the High Street, and then progressing to the hostelries. We normally finish soon after 8:30PM. You are very welcome to swell the numbers and enjoy a ‘Good Fun’ evening. Funds raised will be for meeting Parish running costs.
Saturday 19th December: Pevensy Yokels @ 10:00AM
‘Coffee and Carols’ in St. Wilfrid’s Hall, Pevensey Bay. By now you will be in good voice to sing every carol, while you enjoy coffee and cake etc. lead by the ‘Pevensey Yokels’ a local group who intersperse the carols with often humorous ditties and recitations – many with a thoroughly local flavour! Another ‘Good Fun’, thoroughly informal and relaxing couple of hours. Funds raised will be for Parish running costs.
