Bracknell

Bracknell Forest primary school children did not have a silent night when they performed at this year's Christmas carol concert in front of friends and family at Bracknell Leisure Centre last Sunday (December 4).

More than 350 children from 21 primary schools sung traditional Christmas carols and other seasonal songs accompanied by members of the Corelli Orchestra from the south area of Berkshire Young Musicians Trust (BYMT).

Cllr Mrs Jacqui Ryder, Mayor of the Borough of Bracknell Forest welcomed everybody to the concert and Cllr Alan Ward, Executive Member for Education and Libraries, gave a vote of thanks.

Bracknell Cllr Mrs Ryder said: "The primary schools' carol concert is always one of the biggest events in our seasonal calender. The children involved put an awful lot of time and effort in to preparing for the concert and it is always very well attended.

"This was a wonderful evening of children's voices and a nice way to start the festive season."
