CHRISTMAS ON THE QUAY

17 Dec 2023

2.30pm

After the frustration of being cancelled by the weather last year, Polperro Fishermen's Choir are hoping for a crisp but sunny Sunday afternoon to entertain you singing a variety of Christmas songs against the background of Looe looking very festive. It's all FREE! Some seating is available but it's very informal so you can come and go as you wish. Dogs are very welcome too, especially if they give us some appreciative barks!

ST KEYNE AT CHRISTMAS

20 Dec 2023

7.30pm

St Keyne Church is a lovely place for a concert, and we are really looking forward to singing there again this year. According to legend St Keyne was a princess who lived like a hermit and was responsible for the construction of St Keyne "wishing" well just outside the village, so let's all wish for good health and happiness in these challenging times! The Wreckers will pop up in the village hall afterwards, too. Copyright photo by kind permission of Nick Pearce Photography and Film (01579 344492).

CHRISTMAS CONCERT IN POLPERRO

23 Dec 2023

7.30 pm

At our last event of this year, we will be singing carols and songs at our famous Christmas concert in Polperro Methodist Chapel. Come and enjoy a lovely pre-Christmas evening which is FREE and open to everyone. Donations will be very welcome - they will be in aid of the lovely chapel, which has been our home for 100 years, since 1923. Polperro Christmas lights will have been switched on earlier in the month so the village will be looking lovely. Copyright photo by kind permission of Kevin Armes (www.armes.co.uk).
