Audlem enjoys annual 'Christmas around the tree' concert

Audlem's annual 'Christmas around the tree' concert took place on the evening of Thursday 22nd December 2022 adjacent to the Christmas tree on the Square in the centre of Audlem.

The event featured Crewe Brass who led the service for the 33rd consecutive year!

Christmas carols sung by the attendees were 'Silent Night', 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing', 'Good King Wenceslas', 'Away in a Manger', 'O Little Town of Bethlehem', 'The First Noel', 'While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks', and 'Jingle Bells' with members of the audience shaking their own bells. The evening reached a crescendo with a rousing rendition of 'We Wish You A Merry Christmas'.

A representative from Crewe Brass said: "The village of Audlem came together for a fantastically festive occasion as hundreds gathered 'round the tree to sing carols accompanied by Crewe Brass under their guest conductor, David Woollam."

'Christmas around the tree' was organised by ADAS (Audlem District Amenities Society). For further information relating to ADAS please visit their website here, or facebook here.
