UK Choir Festival trip
We are delighted to offer our members the opportunity to attend the UK Choir Festival being held in St Albans on Sunday, 19th October! Our very own Abi is part of the workshop team on the Saturday so we know it's going to be great! 🤩
As the festival is taking place in Hertfordshire we have put together an overnight package which will include your travel by coach, accommodation and full day workshop ticket .
The workshop day comprises sessions with some of the country's top Choir Directors and Leaders and choirs come from all over the UK, even the world, to take part! The line up on the Sunday is fantastic and includes finding and feeling music through your body, looking at pop and rock songs stylistically, a specialised session in gospel singing and more! The day ends with a short performance from all of the choirs taking part - it's going to be fantastic!
What's included:
- Saturday, October 18th, 10am - coach collection from either Canterbury, Rochester or Greenwich (times tbc)
- Overnight accommodation in St Albans Travelodge, City Centre
- Sunday 19th October, 8:30am - 6pm - participation ticket for workshop, (The hotel in very central and a short walk to the venue)
- Return coach travel back to collection points
On arrival, you will have a few hours to wander around the lovely, historic town of St Albans and we will arrange somewhere for dinner on the Saturday evening for those who wish to participate. *
Please fill in the form below by this Monday at midday, the 14th July, to express heavy interest. If we have enough members to move forward, we will require full payment within a week of confirming your place - this is to secure the coach, hotel and the event itself.
TWIN OCCUPANCY - £192 per person, based on two sharing
SINGLE OCCUPANCY - £254 per person
If you request twin occupancy, we will pair you with someone suitable if not specified.
*Dinner and breakfast are not included in the cost. Breakfast will be available at the hotel or, as we are located centrally, there will be other local options as we walk between the hotel and the venue (approx 8 min walk).
Places are limited but the trip can only go ahead if we reach full coach capacity. Places will be given on a first come, first served basis (although we reserve the right to offer places based on voice part as we need to ensure we have a balanced choir for the performance).
Thank you!
