The Town Mayor and Councillors are hoping for a big turnout at Hawkinge Council's Annual Christmas Carol Concert on Sunday.

The popular event, held in the Hawkinge Community Centre normally attracts over 200 people.

Choirs from the Churchill and Hawkinge Primary schools will be singing and South Kent Community Church will also be providing music and their choir.

The service will be conducted by James Coombs and members of the Church.

Town Councillors will be there helping serve the free refreshments of mince pies, teas and soft drinks.

Residents at the newly opened Hawkinge House care home have been invited to the concert by the Town Council.

The Christmas Carol Concert, which became too big for the Village Hall, underwent a successful revamp last year when Community Centre boss Colin Tearle took over the organising role.

The Concert at the Hawkinge Community Centre, Heron Forstal Avenue, Hawkinge takes place on Sunday 4 December and begins at 2.30pm, finishing around 3.45pm.

Admission is free and everyone is invited... the Town Mayor and Councillors look forward to seeing you all.
