Join us to celebrate Christmas

Join us as we help the Mayor of Guildford celebrate Christmas in the beautiful surroundings of Holy Trinity Church on Guildford’s historic High Street.
All your favourite carols, plus some you may not have heard before, sung by the Vivace Chorus, conducted by Jeremy Backhouse.
With plenty of audience participation, wine and mince pies at the interval, and a retiring collection for the Mayor’s chosen charity, this is the perfect way to get into the real spirit of Christmas.
