Southwell and District Lions Club to hold their annual Christmas carols event at Southwell Minster in aid of cancer charity Maggie’s Centre in Nottingham, featuring appearances from Southwell Choral and Orchestral Societies

A charity is holding its annual Christmas carols at the Southwell Minster and is inviting everyone to join them.

The annual Carols for Everyone event is organised by Southwell and District Lions with all proceeds given to a local charity.

This year the chosen charity is Maggie's Centre in Nottingham.

The event will take place in Southwell Minster on Saturday, December 9, and will start at 7.30pm.

The concert features the Southwell Choral and Orchestral Societies, Holy Trinity School Choir, the U3A Recorder Group, and people's favourite carols.

Children under five are free with children over the age of five charged at £3.

Adult tickets are £5 and can be purchased online at:

www.southwell-lions.org or by calling 01636 812933.

People can also purchase at The Cathedral Shop, Church Street, Southwell.

"This year, Carols for Everyone, our festive family concert will provide funds in aid of Maggie's Centre in Nottingham," said a spokesman from Southwell and District Lions.

“Maggie’s, based in the heart of the City Hospital in Nottingham, provides a warm and welcoming space for people to go for shelter from the clinical, sometimes seemingly hostile, environment of the hospital after their own cancer diagnosis or that of a family member or a friend.

"This organisation provides free cancer support and information to thousands of cancer sufferers across the region every year."
