Love Pop Choirs Otley & Ilkley 
Addingham Christmas Market 
2nd December 2023

A great start to week 3 of our festive programme with our Otley & Ilkley groups singing at the Addingham Christmas market before dashing over to sing at the Burley in Wharfedale Light Switch On .... our ladies sure like to keep busy!

Bringing festive cheer to the event Love Pop Choir sang lots of Christmas songs to keep the shoppers happy as they browsed the market stalls, including the ever popular Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree.

The event organiser sent a lovely thank you email to Kim, our Otley/Ilkley Choir Director thanking the choir for helping to raise an amazing ÂŁ1,528.65 for Yorkshire Cancer Research. Well done ladies you are amazing!

Another event in this super busy weekend for Love Pop Choir with six different events to attend!

Our wonderful Cookridge ladies sang their hearts out at the Welcome In Community Centre & Cafe raising funds at their Christmas Fair for OPAL, a charity working to reduce loneliness and isolation of older people.

A little chaotic, as the Centre was packed with people enjoying the stalls, food and of course the entertainment from Love Pop Choir. It was a happy, fun, squashed event which our ladies loved as the audience joined in very enthusiastically with dancing and singing the 'high note' in All I Want for Christmas Is You. Great job ladies, you are truly fabulous!

The first outdoor event on this chilly, chilly weekend.

A wonderfully festive event for our ladies to sing at, with some of them dashing over here from the Addingham Christmas Market. The crowds were treated to a visit from Santa, a market and fair rides plus entertainment from local groups, including of course, Love Pop Choir.

Christmas favourites from our ladies included Let it Snow, O Holy Night and Merry Christmas Everyone.

Such fun!

Love Pop Choir Cookridge and a sprinkling of ladies from our Harrogate group had a fantastic time at the Horsforth Christmas Lights Switch On.

Such a fun filled day starting with the OPAL Christmas Market, followed by a lovely lunch at the Brownlee Arms, Horsforth and ending with the Horsforth Lights, busy, busy, busy.

Singing for a huge crowd, that filled the area in front of the stage and stretched back further up the High Street than we could see, was so exciting. 

There was such a fabulous festive atmosphere with crowds of people, market stalls, mulled wine and beautiful fairy light balloons. Our talented ladies gave a wonderful performance singing a great mix of festive favourites which the crowds sang and danced along to, enjoying every minute. 

We've already been booked for a return visit next Christmas, our events calendar is already filling up fast for Christmas 2024.

Love Pop Choirs Harrogate & Cookridge

Our brave ladies from Harrogate and Cookridge navigated a Winter snowfall to sing at the Knaresborough Christmas Market, raising funds for the Rotary Club charity. We are so grateful to our amazing ladies for getting to this event despite the snow and travel disruption.

Very cold but so Christmassy, the weather didn't stop the crowds from coming to the market or from listening to us sing for an hour long set. Despite the cold we had a large crowd who we entertained to our whole Christmas programme so everything from Winter Wonderland and Let it Snow (both very appropriate) through to our new songs for this season, Hazy Shade of Winter, I Wish it Could be Christmas Every Day and I Don't Want A Lot For Christmas, you name it, we sang it! 

Looking round the very festive Market and shops afterwards was so lovely and Knaresborough looked magical in the snow, especially along the river - so beautiful.

Another gig in the snow, this time for our brave ladies from Love Pop Choirs Otley and Ilkley

The snowy weather lent a festive feel but didn’t stop the crowds from attending the Otley Victorian Fayre. Visitors enjoyed a large market, Santa’s grotto, reindeer, fairground attractions, donkey rides, street food, mulled wine, roast chestnuts and lots of entertainment including of course, Love Pop Choir.

Our wonderful ladies performed several sets both in the market and on the stage. Their final stage set included a crowd Christmas sing-along to Let it Snow and Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree, which the audience loved. 

What a fantastic day for our cold but very happy ladies.
