CHESHIRE Fire and Rescue Service, Cheshire Police and the North West Ambulance Service are hosting their annual Emergency Services Carol Concert at Chester Cathedral on Tuesday, December 8.

The event, which is free and open to everyone, starts at 7.30pm and will last for about an hour.

Chief Fire Officer Paul Hancock said: “We have been running the concert in conjunction with the other emergency services for the past few years and is something we all enjoy attending and giving back to the local community.

“The concert is a fantastic opportunity for people to get themselves in the festive spirit, by joining in with a sing along in the magnificent surroundings of Chester Cathedral.”

This year’s concert will include special performances by a local deaf choir Dee Sign and Upton Heath Primary School Choir.

This will be in addition to the usual mix of festive carols with accompanied by the musical backing of the Cheshire Constabulary Band.

After the concert the refectory will be open to purchase refreshments and mingle with members of the emergency services.
