Shoppers stopped shopping... tills stopped ringing... toes started tapping on Friday morning as Hilldene's choir sang Christmas carols at Lakeside shopping centre. Wearing festive Christmas hats, the talented, young choristers sang their favourite Christmas carols, accompanied by Mrs Davenport on the recorder.
Enchanted by the calming carolling, generous shoppers expressed their delight by donating their spare change to the chosen charity- The Salvation Army. Over £200 was collected, which will be added to collections following Christmas performances.
The morning ended with a cheery rendition of 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas,' before the children returned to school at lunchtime.
Thank you to Miss Sloan for organising the event, the choir for their fantastic singing and to all the parents for their help with transport.
