Christmas Under the Stars - 2020
"It's the most wonderful time of the year..." and yes, it is time for us to dust off the jingle bells, to pull out the tinsel and the Santa hats, and to dig out our trusty caroling books. We are all over the place this Christmas season, so keep an eye on our FB page to see where we will be spreading Christmas cheer near you. If you would like your very own personal caroling service, for a donation, we can be at your home or workplace - just PM us. Of course, the pinnacle of the season will be our very own "Christmas Under the Stars" (formerly Carols by Candlelight) 6.30pm, SUNDAY 20 DECEMBER at the Napier Botanical Gardens - proudly sponsored by Mark Evans and his team at Bayleys real estate. A huge thanks from us to Mark and Bayleys for helping us to help you to have a "jolly, holly Christmas".
