Festive performance back for 2024

Joy to the World 2024, organised with Clitheroe Christians in Partnership will feature Ribble Valley Choir and Orchestra and will be celebrating Christmas with music, poems, dance and drama, including items for the audience.

Starting at 3pm the free concert will also be recalling important anniversaries and recent events. It will be attended by both Ribble Valley and Clitheroe Mayors.

Steuart Kellington, who conducts Ribble Valley Choir and Orchestra said: “I look forward every year to conducting the choir again as we prepare for the concert. Joy to the World has evolved over the last 14 years and is a popular town event.

“Traditional carols with audience participation are included as in a conventional carol service but we also enjoy amusing but relevant drama items and recall anniversaries and recent events.

“For me, the concert heralds the start of Christmas!”

The concert culminates with hot drinks and mince pies at 4.15pm and there will be a collection for Christian Aid.

Full address for the event is Trinity Methodist Church and Community Hub, Parson Lane, Clitheroe, BB7 2JY.
