Merry Christmas from the Choir

Our Christmas concert at Trinity Methodist Church was a great success, as afternoon tea and cakes accompanied the choirs seasonal favourites and carols.

We also took the opportunity to present a cheque to Cancer Research UK from our summer concert at Hartlebury Castle, which was accepted by local branch Chairman and Valentines patron Peter Tomlinson.

We are now looking forward to 2025 where we have several concerts in the planning and a summer concert tour to Scarborough.

Merry Christmas to you all from the ladies of Kidderminster Valentines, we look forward to seeing you at a concert in 2025.
