A Magical Return to Ripon Cathedral

On a cold and very snowy day, over 60 incredible ladies, from across our Love Pop Choir groups, braved the elements to perform in the beautiful surroundings of Ripon Cathedral. Though Storm Bert reduced our original line up of 100 singers, those who made it were in for a truly wonderful day. The determination of both our choir and the people of Ripon shone through as a large crowd gathered, despite the weather, to attend the Cathedral’s Christmas Fayre. Performing at this beautiful and historic venue has become a true highlight for Love Pop Choir and our 2nd visit was every bit as magical as the first.

First stop was the rehearsal room where everyone gathered to warm up our bodies and our voices. No outstanding acoustics were needed here as our talented choir filled the rehearsal room with stunning renditions of O Holy Night and Candlelight Carol ... absolutely beautiful!

Wow, how amazing does this sound!

 At last it was time to head into the Cathedral itself. The venue was packed, with every seat filled and even more standing outside to listen and soak up the festive atmosphere. The soaring acoustics and stunning surroundings created an unforgettable experience as our brilliant Choir Director, Lauren led us through a truly beautiful setlist. The stunning Candlelight Carol, hauntingly beautiful Carol of The Bells and Beyonce's hit Halo were just some of the treats delighting our packed audience.  

Of course our performance wouldn't be complete without choir favourite Hallelujah!

The Mids and the Lows singing their hearts out. ♥

Fantastic harmonies from the Highs!

After the fun of performing we made our way into the Christmas Fayre. There were lots of Christmas stalls selling unique gifts and the festive aroma of mulled wine and hot turkey sandwiches filled the air. Such a festive event, especially as some of our ladies even found time for a quick photo with the big man himself... Santa!

We recorded the entire performance on video allowing us to relive the magic and share it with those who couldn’t attend. Friends and family also captured stunning photos and videos, ensuring we have plenty of keepsakes from this fabulous day.

You can see lots more photos from the day and from other Love Pop Choir events on our Flickr account and lots of Love Pop Choir videos on our YouTube channel. Please subscribe (it's free and easy to do) and give us a like if you enjoy them. 👍  

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve already been invited back to perform next year, giving even more of our fabulous ladies the chance to experience the magic of Ripon Cathedral. We can’t wait to do it all again!
