Christmas Celebration Concert
Santa to return to Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum this Christmas
S
anta has confirmed that he will be visiting Skinningrove with his elves once again this Christmas, returning to the Underground Grotto at Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum. Santa will be here on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th December and will be looking forward to meeting children of all ages. Santa will be giving out presents, but only after the elves have checked the Nice List! “Santa’s visit is always a highlight of the year at Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum,” says Graham Banwell, Director at the museum. “Each year it gets more popular, and the volunteers at the museum are already getting ready to make everything festive and make Santa and the elves feel at home.” Entry will be £4 per child, and there is no need to pre-book. There will be hot drinks, food and a tombola to raise funds for the museum, while there will be crafts and games to take part in while you wait to descend underground to visit Santa. Finally, Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum will be very grateful for any donations of raffle prizes from individuals or local businesses, as well as pre-loved toys and cakes or snacks. Please contact alec@ironstonemuseum. co.uk with any donations.

uisborough Choral Society Christmas Concert – Guisborough Methodist Church on Saturday, December 14th at 7.30 PM. Get in the festive spirit and come along with friends and family to celebrate Christmas with us and of course, feel free to sing along! We are sure you’ll be delighted with our orchestral ensemble and guest artists Ben Noble and Alice Dix. Alice and Ben have performed on professional and amateur stages together in Gounod’s Faust, Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro, Rossini’s Le comte Ory, Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Gondoliers and have performed many choral works. In the first half the choir will perform classical works and in the second half we will present our usual festive mix of choir and audience carol favourites accompanied by our enseble orchestra. The classical works are Fantasia on Chirstmas Carols by R. Vaughan Williams, On Christmas Night by Bob Chillcott and Quatre Motets pour le temps de Noël (Four Motets for the season of Christmas) by Francis Poulenc. Fantasia on Christmas Carols is a gentle work which focuses on four traditional carols with fragments of other familiar carol tunes.
On Christmas Night is a musical celebration in which Bob Chilcott combines tradition and invention - comforting and reflective, also jubilant, swinging, and a little folksy. Quatre Motets pour le temps de Noël depicts four scenes from the Nativity story, containing moments of haunting beauty. Enjoy your choice of hot or cold drinks and a selection of Christmas goodies served during the interval by the Guisborough St. Vincent de Paul Society. Please be generous with your donations and support their work to relieve poverty and isolation in our community. Tickets available now online at wegottickets.com/ event/487864 and from choir members and from Guisborough Bookshop on Chaloner Street, Guisborough. Tickets at the door will be subject to availability. General admission tickets cost £8. Admission is FREE to those under 19 years of age. Did you know that singing helps ith sleep, is a natural anti-depressant, lowers stress levels and improves mental alertness? Singing can also widen your circle of friends! Come along to one of our rehearsals and have a go. We meet on Wednesday evenings during term times at Sunnyfield House on Westgate in Guisborough from 7.30pm - 9.30pm.
