🎶 Sing for Fun Returns Tomorrow! 🎶

After the half-term break, we're delighted to welcome everyone back to Sing for Fun tomorrow (Friday) at St Mary's Church, Langford from 1.30pm–2.30pm, with refreshments afterwards for those who would like to stay and chat.

Did you know that scientific research has shown that singing can help reduce stress and anxiety, lower blood pressure, improve heart health and boost happiness? That's exactly why Sing for Fun is all about enjoying music together in a relaxed, friendly and supportive environment.

You don't need to be able to read music, you don't need any singing experience, and you certainly don't need a "good voice". There are no auditions, no pressure and no judgement—just a chance to enjoy some well-loved songs and experience the uplifting power of singing.

Led by our wonderful pianist Alison Blundell, everyone is welcome to come along, have a go and see what a difference singing can make.

📍 St Mary's Church, Langford
🕜 Tuesdays, 1.30pm–2.30pm
☕ Refreshments afterwards
🎵 Free to attend (donations welcome)
✅ No booking required – just turn up!

Why not take that leap of faith and join us? We think you'll leave with a smile on your face and a song in your heart.
