Poringland Parish Council invites you to join us for some Festive Christmas cheer.  This year there will be a grand village Christmas tree installed at Poringland Community Centre for everyone to enjoy.
Join us on 8th December at 5pm for the singing of some carols and other fun Christmas songs around the tree.  We will be accompanied by the fabulous Cawston Band and the wonderful ‘Can’t Sing, Won’t Sing’ group.  The band will be taking requests, so get your favourite Christmas song lined up! 
There will be mince pies and mulled wine (and the bar will be open for those who would like something a bit stronger).

And last, but certainly not least, we are expecting a visit from Santa himself.  He will have some treats for the children (and any adults that are on the ‘nice list’).

We look forward to seeing you there!

A very merry Poringland Community Christmas
