Choir members wanted for Harrogate Christmas Fayre

A Harrogate company that set up a Christmas choir last year is looking to recruit members for this year.

Entertainment company Enchantica's is looking for 18 members to take centre stage at the third Harrogate Christmas Fayre in the town centre.

Enchantica's is managing the festive entertainment programme on behalf of North Yorkshire Council.

Create a Choir is an opportunity to come together enjoy the benefits of performing, the company says. No experience is needed.

It added:

"Following on from the success of last year’s debut event, both the fayre and the entertainment are set to return, with the search for singers and performers already underway.”


The choir will be led by professional singer Emma Carrington.

Members will attend three rehearsals and give three performances at the fayre, which has been extended to 18 days this year.

Suzanne Vaughan, director at Enchantica’s, said:

"Community is at the heart of the town. People contributing and showing off their talents helps the town to shine bright for all.
"Performers will enjoy the buzz of playing to a festive audience, while their friends and their family will also come along to support them and get to enjoy the festivities in the town."




Last year's Christmas celebrations also included performances from local primary schools, dance schools and bands.

Amy Moseley, co-chair of Harrogate Choral Society, said:

"To be part this fantastic event was a real joy for us as a local organisation which has been present in Harrogate for over 75 years and now has 140 members.
"There’s nothing more festive than a choir singing carols and it was so well received by the local community and visitors to Harrogate that we can’t wait to take part again this year."


Create a Choir is open to adults of all abilities.

Rehearsals will take place on November 5, 12, 26 from 5.30pm to 6.30pm at Enchantica’s eorkshop.

Performances will be on December 3, 10 and 17.

Those wanting to join the choir – or perform at the fayre in another capacity – can click here or email events@enchanticas.co.uk to sign up.
