IT would not be Christmas without Kentwood Choir’s annual festive extravaganza.

This year the group, which has been belting it out in Swindon for no fewer than 51 years, has planned a real corker, Christmas Cracker, full of seasonal favourites, heaps of festive cheer and even a few surprises. Featuring the Aldbourne Band, Phil Steventon and the Open Door Choir, the show will launch the countdown to Christmas in style.

The show will run at the Wyvern Theatre on Sunday, November 22 at 4pm and 8pm.

Tickets are £14. To book call 01793 524 481 or visit swindontheatres.co.uk.
