Singing in the street 2022

Singing at Abbeyfield

Every year groups of villagers sing carols around the streets of Girton, for fun, and to raise money for charity. (In 2020 we raised money online instead, by singing on our doorsteps).

Socially distanced singing in the George!

Day 1: 21st Dec

Meet at the Golden Goose railings by St Andrew's Church at 6.30pm. Singing in High Street, Dodford Lane, Northfield and Fairway.

Day 2: 22nd Dec

The second night covers the Thorntons area. Meet at 6.30pm at the first lamp-post on Thornton Road (coming from Girton Road).

Day 3: Dec 24th

Meet at 6.30pm at the Sensory Garden at the Girton Road junction with Wellbrook Way, singing to Wellbrook Way and Weaver's Field.
