We are happy to announce that the fabulous Hathern Band will be playing in the beautifully decorated setting of St Mary’s Church, Melton Mowbray, on Sunday night (December 1st) as part of a Carols of Praise amongst the Christmas Trees. Everyone is welcome to attend the service.
The band, which has been generously sponsored on the night by Ragdale Hall Spa, will play from 6pm and for a short while after the service. They will also provide the musical accompaniment for the service at 6.30pm.
A collection will be taken during this service and the monies raised will be presented to this year’s chosen charity, Leukaemia UK.
