Plenty on offer in the high street today. I am looking forward to our FREE community Christmas concert - what we need is a good audience for the performers who have spent time rehearsing to entertain you. There is something for everyone - starting with our choir at 1pm. Forest Hill School have three acts, Love2Dance a group of 8 - 12 year olds, old time favourites from Sydenham Arts Music Hall for you to sing along to and a chance to join in to the beat of the drum. We have soprano Gina Watson with some well known arias and ending with the Frockettes.

The weather forecast is looking good for our brass band and carols at 4.30pm outside The Sydenham Centre - we have 50 carol sheets so come along and join in.
