Fans of the traditional ‘Carols in the Square’ event will be delighted to hear it is back once again. Last year, a carol service took place in the municipal theatre instead and while it was an enjoyable night, there is something magical about singing Christmas carols together in the open air, under the festive lights of the tree in Torrevieja’s main square.
This year, the event takes place on Friday December 10th. As always, the song sheets will be printed in that week’s copy of the Costa Blanca People and will also be available online for you to view on your phone or tablet.
The music will be led by David Last and of course, the wonderful Royal British Legion Concert Band will accompany singers. The event will feature performances by Crescendo International Choir, Stevie Spit and many more popular acts. Members of the public are invited to come along (Christmas hats and jumpers a must!) and join in the festive fun. David Last told the Costa Blanca People “We’re going to make this one the best yet! It will be more of a ‘rouser’ than ever before and we really want everyone to join in the festive fun.”
There will be a collection for a local charity helping homeless people and attendees are reminded to wear masks and respect social distancing measures.
The fun begins at 6pm – David advises people to get there early for a ‘good spot’. He explained “This year we have the use of the main stage and as we’re not blocking the entrance to the church, we can carry on singing for a bit longer than usual which is great news.”
