The joint concert marks a rare collaboration between the choirs, who collectively represent more than a century of musical tradition across the county.

Together, they hope to raise significant funds to support local children with life-threatening conditions and their families.

Alan added: “We are honoured to make Hope House our charity focus and hope the community will come out in force to support both the music and the cause.”

Dawn Ball, fundraiser for Hope House, said: “We’re delighted that the choirs are coming together for such a special fundraising concert and thank them for their generous support.

“Events like this help us continue providing expert care to local children with life-threatening conditions and support for their families, completely free of charge.”

Tickets are £10 and available from The Railway Tavern in Newport, Nan’s Café, Presence Card & Gift Shop and The Anvil in Shifnal.
