Get those festive jumpers on! There’s a charity Christmas singalong with all your favourite songs at Aberystwyth Arts Centre’s Great Hall on Thursday, 22nd December.
This is the third Christmas singalong by Elinor Powell’s Sgarmes singers and it will be raising money for the Bronglais Chemo Appeal and Bronglais Hospital League of Friends.
Tickets cost £10 for adults and £5 for children under 16, and Sgarmes will be joined on stage by special guests Meibion y Mynydd and Elinor’s new children’s choir Sgarmangels for the hugely popular charity event, which kicks off at 8pm.
There will also be a fabulous raffle again this year and prizes include a £250 M&S Christmas hamper, a night in The Cliff Hotel and Spa in Cardigan, and four tickets to the final night of
the Wardens pantomime Mother Goose in January.
Sgarmes’ Musical Director and Creator Elinor said: “We are excited to be back doing the singalong after three years. It’s going to be a lovely, Christmassy evening.
“We raise as much money for charity as we can and always give it to the Bronglais Hospital League of Friends. This time we have asked that the proceeds go to the Bronglais Chemo Appeal.
“We feel the chemotherapy day unit is one of the most needed units in Bronglais Hospital. We have all been touched by cancer in some way and we wanted to help the Appeal so the hospital can get the new day unit as soon as possible.”
Tickets for the singalong are still available from Aberystwyth Arts Centre and raffle tickets can be purchased on the night.
Nicola Llewelyn, Head of Hywel Dda Health Charities, the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board, said: “We are grateful to Elinor Powell and Sgarmes for their support and to everyone else who has donated to the Appeal.
“We are delighted to report that the Appeal has now passed its target. However, given the current economic climate, we predict that construction costs will increase. Every penny raised, including future donations, will therefore go directly to the Appeal fund, with any surplus funds used to support those affected by cancer across Ceredigion and mid Wales.”
