At the Christmas event, participants will enjoy food, drink, and lots of singing. A large raffle will also be held.

Covingham Park Primary School will perform Christmas music for a second year in a row.

The Goldies Sing&Smile sessions are aimed at people over 60 who may be feeling lonely, isolated, or living with dementia.

However, everyone is welcome to join in.

There is no requirement to be able to sing, and no need to book.

The songs sung consist of popular hits from the 50s onwards, from artists including Sir Cliff Richard, The Beatles, Petula Clark, ABBA, and Elvis Presley.
