After a two-year hiatus, the Falmouth Harmony Choir will once again fill the streets of Falmouth with festive song as they have done for over 100 years.

On Saturday, December 24 choirs from across Cornwall will congregate at The Mariners (formerly the Cutty Sark), Grove Place, Falmouth before making their way through town, charming the crowds with their Cornish carols, before finishing at The Moor at around 1pm.

Rob and Raffie, the choir conductors, have arranged three informal practices at The Princess Pavilion, Falmouth on Sunday, October 9, November 6 and December 4 between 3 – 5pm.

The practices will be a great opportunity to meet other choir members to familiarise themselves once more with the traditional Cornish carols.

Rob and Raffie are keen to keep this fantastic tradition alive and would be delighted to welcome singers, new and old, to join them. Sheet music will be provided; however, you do not need to read music to join in the fun!
