HARVEST OF THE SEA IN LANSALLOS20 Oct 2024 6.30 pm Celebrate the Harvest of the Sea with us in St Ildierna's Church in Lansallos (PL13 2PX), a reminder of the days when the Polperro Fishermen's Choir was attracting huge congregations to Harvest of the Sea services around 100 years ago. Parking will be available in the National Trust car park some 250 yards up the road (free at that time of day) and the church toilets will be open. Come and join us for good singing, a taste of history and some sociable chat! |
CONCERT AT PENSILVA MILLENNIUM CENTRE23 Nov 2024 7.30 pm There will be a double bill to enjoy on Saturday 23 November in Pensilva Millenium Centre (PL14 5NF). First, at 7.30pm, the choir will entertain you with a selection of songs old and new, including some with a Christmas flavour. Afterwards the Wreckers, probably with a pint and pasty to hand, will change gear for a light-hearted sing-along range of music. Don't miss it! |
CHRISTMAS ON THE QUAY15 Dec 2024 2.30pm Polperro Fishermen's Choir are hoping for a crisp but sunny Sunday afternoon to entertain you singing a variety of Christmas songs at the Wset Looe Quayside Centre, against the background of Looe looking very festive. We'll be singing at 2.30pm on Sunday 15 December and, as this is our Christmas gift to you, it's all FREE! Some seating is available but it's very informal and you can come and go as you wish. Dogs are very welcome too, especially if they give us some appreciative barks! |
ST KEYNE AT CHRISTMAS18 Dec 2024 7.30pm St Keyne Church is a lovely place for a concert, and we are really looking forward to singing there again this year to help get you in the Christmas spirit. The Wreckers will still be in festive mood in the village hall afterwards so come and join us there and sing along to your favourites.

CHRISTMAS CONCERT IN POLPERRO23 Dec 2024 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). |
PHIL CARRIGAN'S HERMIE BOOKSFrom 24 Dec 2024 to 25 Dec 2024 Available NOW! Our multi-talented musical director is also an author and has published several lovely well-illustrated stories - even including Polperro Fishermen's Choir and the Wreckers transformed into rather naughty singing black bunnies in 'Honey Bee Meadow'! Phil has written a lot of stories about Hermie, the cute Miniature Schnauzer who sometimes sleeps through our rehearsals. As usual he gets up to mischief in the books which include 'Hermie at the Beach' and 'Hermie's Big Date'. |
