Christmas carols in Evington
After many years, this year (2024) saw carol singing around the Christmas tree in Evington village happening again.
This picture shows Cllr. Zuffar Haq delivering the tree.
This picture shows Harkesh Farma and Harry Pettman putting up the tree on behalf of Friends of Evington (Charity no. 205219).
On Tuesday 17th December, pupils and teachers from Judgemeadow Community College led the singing. They had chosen the songs and produced a song sheet.
This was an event that brought local people together to celebrate these Winter festivities.
Cllr. Haq (centered here) said he was proud of this way of coming together in Evington, that includes people of all ages and from all different backgrounds and cultures. He says “Next year there will be twice the number of people.”
Afterwards, all were invited to enjoy tea, coffee and hot chocolate at The Cedars.
