Pontesbury Guides enjoy live music at Wembley concert
A group of Guides and Rangers from Pontesbury joined more than 21,000 Girlguiding members at a concert in London
Guides and Rangers from Pontesbury travelled to London to enjoy live music at Girlguiding’s Big Gig.
Members of 1st Pontesbury Guides and Rangers attended the concert at OVO Arena Wembley on Saturday, October 10, where they sang and danced along to performances by artists including JLS and Scouting For Girls.
The line-up also featured West End performer Kerry Ellis, The Wanted 2.0, Carla Monroe and country-pop trio Midnight in Vegas.
Millie Butler, 13, from 1st Pontesbury Guides, said: “I absolutely loved the Big Gig! It was my first ever trip to Wembley.
“Being able to share my love for live music with my Guide friends and leaders was amazing.
“The Big Gig was incredible, and I felt so lucky to be part of such a special event.”
More than 21,000 Girlguiding members aged between 10 and 18, along with their leaders, attended the event, which returned after a six-year break.
The concert aims to give members the chance to enjoy live music with friends in a safe environment and celebrate being part of Girlguiding.
The line-up was chosen with help from Girlguiding’s youth panel, Pioneer, to offer a range of musical styles.
Girlguiding gives girls opportunities to take part in activities ranging from camping and climbing to large-scale events such as the Big Gig.
