Toddler christmas carol events?

[AnyaJoeli]

Hello

Id love to take my 3 year old to a christmas singing thing at some point?mainly for me, love a bit of carol singing. Are there any toddler carol singing events in ed area over the next few weeks? Does anyone know when the southwark cathedral carols will be? I think that might be a bit full on for him but just interested.

Hi

It's not really Christmas Carols but a Christmas concert (I'm sure they'll have some singing) - Bach to Baby. May be good fun?

Carols on the Green Event on Thursday 18th December 6pm, is very child friendly - organised by Goose Green Primary School PTA, it's led by the school music teacher. Mulled wine, minced pies, carol song sheets and a brass band to accompany the carol singing round the Christmas Tree.

There's a Christingle service at Southwark Cathedral tomorrow at 5.30 I think. There are some details on their web site and on site called better bankside.

My then 3 year old, 1 year old and I went to the Christingle service at St John's Church just by Goose Green last year and it was lovely. Plenty of carol singing, plus handing out of the Christingle orange, lit with candles etc. It was late afternoon (about 4-ish I seem to remember)and a very welcoming and family friendly atmosphere.

Horniman Museum has carols this Sunday as part of their Christmas Fair. It's usually very busy (lots of children!) and in the past they've handed out song sheets for the final carols so everyone sings along.

Thanks Vrook for suggesting Bach to Baby!

I'm Miaomiao who runs Bach to Baby, and we have a very special concert planned for our Dulwich Village concert on Monday Dec. 8th, 10:30am. The programme is a Festival of Songs, featuring David Jones, Baritone. We will also have lots of sing-along carols at the end, so come prepared to sing!

Our West Dulwich/Tulse Hill concert is Friday Dec. 19th at 4pm

and that is a special Trombone and Sackbut concert. Rare opportunity to hear the ancient instrument live.

of course, we'll have your favourite carols to end too.

So, if you have any questions, just PM me, or write back here.

more info can be found at http://www.bachtobaby.com/londonsouth

Hope that helps!

Hey Anya, hope you're really well! We took the kids to the christingle at St. John's last year and it was really lovely, Nancy really liked it (tho I nearly had a heart attack when she nearly set light to someone with her christingle candle). It is hugely popular, so be sure to get there early - http://www.stjohnseastdulwich.org/the-goose-green-centre - looks like there's one at 3 and 4.30 on Xmas Eve xx

This event was lovely last year: full of kids and lots of smiling happy faces.

Carol Singalong at St Barnabas church on Sunday 14 December at 3. 30pm for about an hour

There will be mulled wine ,mincepies and drinks for the children We will sing 10 carols including Away in the Manger ,Little Donkey etc

Last year over 100 people came . Very welcome friends ,children and grandchildren

Dulwich Helpline are providing the mulled wine and the Singalong is in aid of Dulwich Helpline .

Beth - where do we find the Christmas Tree on the 18th Dec? I've never been before!

[Coach Beth]

You won't be able to miss it! This year, we are planting a living Christmas tree (with Southwarks blessing) on Goose Green. It's to be at least 6foot I believe. The planting is due to take place tomorrow on the green - in the long term goose green primary school will take responsiblity for long term upkeep of the tree. The children of the school will decorate it before Carols on the Green.

I will take a photo and post it here so there is no doubt where will will meeting!

[Coach Beth]

And here are the photos of the tree where we will be congregating!

Thanks for all these ideas and info, Caroline that sounds great for Christmas Eve if you're going again this year let me know! We were considering southwark cathedral but closer to home might be preferable. Had a similar incident with Maurice last year with a candle at a Christmas Eve carol service...

Hey, we've a Christmas toddler nimble tots session on Monday and Wednesday, finishing with a singalong of carols round the piano, a there's a few tickets left. There's a bit more detail on the website at http://goo.gl/Vcll2W, but it'll be a Christmas musical story (lots of cello, ukulele, djembe...) followed by carols and craft.

Does anybody know what time the Christingle at St Johns tomorrow?

Thanks!

This year St John's will hold two Christingle services:

3.00pm Christingle Service for Children

4.30pm Christingle Service for Children

Went to a lovely Christmas Crib Service at St Faith's in North Dulwich today. The toddlers and children acted out the story of baby Jesus and I got to sing away to all the Christmas songs I've loved over the years. Always takes me back to morning assembly at Bessemer! They even had a play area at the back of the church for toddlers who couldn't sit still for long!

Too late for this year but for those in Nunhead, St Anthony's and St Silas on Ivydale Rd/Merttins Rd do a lovely Christingle/Carol service aimed at kids - this year it was at 6pm on Christmas Eve. Very welcoming.
