Cllr John Chesworth, Tamworth Borough Council’s Cabinet member for Culture and Operational Services, said: “These concerts are guaranteed to be great performances from two popular Tamworth choirs, supported by Tamworth Borough Council’s Arts and Events Team. 

“Providing quality entertainment for our residents and to attract visitors to the town remains a key priority for the council’s Arts and Events team. It is exciting to see Tamworth Voices and Mercian Singers returning to perform popular Christmas classics, there is no better way to start your Christmas season than enjoying these great festive themed evenings. They promise to be heart-warming performances.”

The annual festive favourites are part of Tamworth Assembly Rooms on Tour, which is taking acts that would normally perform in the historic theatre out into the community while it undergoes refurbishment.
