Led by the Wheatsheaf Consort. Followed by mulled wine and mince pies in Church House.
The Wheatsheaf Consort is a choir with a particular interest in Church Music.
Founded in 1990 and taking its name from its first rehearsal venue, once a pub, the Consort draws its members from Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Buckinghamshire and Northampton, and as far away as London and Stamford.
We specialise in singing church music and perform as a guest choir at churches and cathedrals in England and Wales.
Our first performance was given at St Johns Bodicote in 1991 and we are delighted to be returning to sing this Christmas for your Christmas carol service.
For our Carol Service, they will be led by one of their musical directors, Dr James Kennard, organist and choir master at St Peter’s and St. Paul’s Deddington.
Short family-friendly service where the Christmas story is told and the crib scene built up.
