In the evening the stage will be reset for Sweet Charity Choir, London Show Choir, The Collaboration Choir and the talented A Cappella group Sons of Pitches. They will all take to the iconic Corn Exchange stage for a celebration of all things ‘choir’ to be remembered. All four groups will be performing their vibrant original arrangements of well-known hits as part of this amazing choir showcase hosted by the legend that is Deke Sharon. If you sing in the shower, in a choir or just love listening to vocal groups you won’t want to miss this event. Come and celebrate the amazing human voice with us and make it a day for the whole family to remember!
