Bracknell

Hundreds of children from Bracknell Forest Borough Council’s primary schools are getting ready to perform the annual Christmas carol concert on Sunday 2 December at the Bracknell Leisure Centre.

More than 350 Bracknell primary-aged children will sing traditional Christmas carols and other festive songs accompanied by a youth orchestra made up of Berkshire children taught by Berkshire Maestros. James Baker of Berkshire Maestros will conduct the orchestra and choir.

For many children and parents the concert marks the start of Christmas in the Bracknell borough and there are still tickets available for anyone who would like to join in and sing along to all the traditional carols. Tickets are on sale at Bracknell Leisure Centre, Bagshot Road, Bracknell, priced £5 each.

Cllr Mrs Gill Birch, Mayor of the Borough of Bracknell Forest will present a prize to the winner of a competition to design artwork for the concert programme.

The Mayor said: "The carol concert is one of the highlights of the festive season in our borough and our children and schools put a great deal of effort into preparing and organising it.
