Christmas cheer for the residents at Ashley Court

Every December the residents and staff of Ashley Court nursing home eagerly look forward to the annual Christmas Carol concert performed by the children from the local nursery.

The stars of the show are three to four year olds; the young choir’s repertoire includes such favourites as Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, Jingle Bells and Away in a Manger. To show their appreciation the residents always ensure a good supply of sweets are given to the children at the end of their performance, as a big thank you.

Last year, as an added surprise, Santa made an early appearance much to the delight of the little ones.
