Then at 6pm in St Mary’s Church it’s Carolfest, where you can help fill the church to the rafters with traditional Christmas Carols in a very relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Children from Oak Green School along with Caduceus Brass Quintet and The Wingrave Singers will lead the carols, with Dez Kay compering the evenings singing. We will be serving tea, coffee and hot chocolate (with the possibility of a mince pie or two) courtesy of Tesco Tring Road and the Matrix Scouts, raising funds for the Mayor’s charity, Space. You and the children can wander round the church whilst enjoying the singing and the entire family can get into the festive spirit with a good old Christmas sing-a-long.
