Waterways Museum hosts Christmas Carol Concert
The National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port is hosting an evening Christmas Carol concert in one of its atmospheric Victorian warehouses on Friday 18 December 2009, from 7.30pm to 10pm.
Carols will be sung by the acclaimed Wirral Singers and Ringers and the rich-toned Great Sutton Male Voice Choir. Tickets are priced at £6 and include a coffee and mince pie. To book in advance call 0151 355 5017.
Steve Stamp, Chairman the Boat Museum Society of volunteers, explains: “The Singers & Ringers annual carol concert at the Museum is very popular and we are delighted to welcome two excellent local choirs this year.
“It really does put everyone in the Christmas spirit with a wonderful atmosphere and backdrop provided by the Museum’s historic buildings. It’s also a great opportunity to see the Museum at night, with festive twinkling lights reflected on the water! Please do book in advance as we have limited tickets available.”
The National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port is home to the national collection of historic working boats, some of which visitors can board to explore and find out how the working boat people used to live. The Museum also has a trip boat, hands-on exhibits, films, touch-screen displays, stables, a blacksmith, docks, pump houses, workers cottages and gardens, an archive, a soft play area, Museum shop and cafe.
