Plans are being finalised for Exmouth Quay’s annual concert of traditional Christmas carols on Sunday December 15.
Exmouth Shanty Men, saxophonist Charlie Hearnshaw and the town concert band are among the guests at the event, which takes place outside the Peter Dixon Chandlery at 6pm.
Quay residents stage the concert each year with Christian Aid and in 2012 more than £500 was raised for the charity’s work among the world’s poorest people. This year the proceeds will be used to help tragic families involved in the typhoon in the Philippines.
Join Exeter based singer/songwriter Charlotte Ward, on Thursday 19th December from 4.30pm as she entertains Christmas shoppers on Cathedral Green.
Charlotte will be joined by the Skin Angels, by Purity Boutique Spa, who will be chatting to people about the importance of year round skin protection.
Charlotte and Skin Angels are supporting the UK charity Teenage Cancer Trust.
