The NSPCC Christmas Carol Concert, sponsored by Don Paddy’s Pub Uppingham, will this year take place on Monday, December 7, at All Saints’ Church in Oakham.

This is an annual charity event which sees the church decorated with decorations and Christmas Candles for many years loaned by Gates Garden Centre last year cheaper items were purchased from
Wilko.

For those who can't wait to down the traditional drink at the end of a traditional carol service on a cold winters evening this one provides plenty of mulled wine before the start of the carol concert.

Possibly to encourage an audience sing a long. with the Harborough Singers accompanied by Foresters Brass.
