Choirs to serenade Warwickshire village Christmas market shoppers - dates, parking and times

Hatton Garden Centre & Shopping village in Warwickshire is to play host to several Choirs in the run up to Christmas to get visitors into the festive spirit and raise money for charity. Rock Choir, who have previously performed on Britain’s Got Talent, The One Show and at Highgrove House for King Charles III’s 75th birthday, will be performing on the December 8 and December 15 from 2pm.

The choir was started in 2005 by Caroline Redman Lusher and boasts a membership of 33,000 passionate singers across approximately 400 communities. While only a handful of the choir will be present, they're set to perform a mix of Christmas classics and pop songs at Hatton.

Alongside them will be Born2Sing, a multi award winning performing Arts School from Solihull who will perform on December 1. Born2Sing offers classes for all including those with additional needs.

While they have been established for over 15 years, their academy is only 3 years old and provides lessons for children aged 3 through to adults. Their choir, which is made up of singers from their youth academy and adult well-being choir, will be singing a variety of Christmas songs from ‘ Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer’ to ‘ Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree’.

Warwickshire Youth Choir will also be present on December 7 from 10am to 1pm. The registered charity provides music education throughout Warwickshire and the surrounding areas for children and young people aged 4 - 24.

The choir is part of the County Choirs programme - a school and outreach programme of after-school choirs, community events and workshops. The performance at Hatton will feature traditional Christmas songs, but mostly secular songs with a connection to winter, stars and light. Any money raised at the event will go to support their outreach and bursary provision providing opportunities for children who would not usually have access to high quality music education.

Rounding the bill off will be Apollo, who will be performing on December 21 from 10am to 1pm. The mental health charity uses music and performing arts to support mental health and wellbeing.

They provide participatory and performance-based projects for the community and bespoke training for young professionals in community music work and 'Music for Health'. The musicians and singers who will perform at Hatton come from their Health in Harmony project and Apollo Academy Youth Orchestra with a difference project. Their fundraising will go to support their hospital work and community projects.

Johnnie Arkwright, owner at Hatton Shopping Village and Hatton Country World, said “We’re delighted to welcome a host of wonderful choirs to Hatton in the run up to Christmas. We hope their performances will bring some Christmas cheer and raise money for some very worthwhile and deserved charities. We do hope our visitors will even join in and sing along themselves!”

Hatton Shopping Village has free entry with plenty of parking which costs just £2 for the whole day.
