The programme aims to evoke the spirit of a traditional village Christmas. It will include many popular carols including The Holly and The Ivy, Good King Wenceslas and Harold Darkes' beautiful setting of In the Bleak Midwinter.
Less familiar pieces such as Down in Yon Forest and The Wexford Carol plus selected readings will take the audience on a journey, back through time to days gone by.
The programme has several carols for the audience, including a lively medley in which the audience will have fun seeing how many carols they can recognise.
