Ashtead Community Choir

Ashtead Community Choir is a free lunchtime community choir for adults. Its members include: those working from home who would like a break from the desks during the day people who are retired or working part-time those who are in between jobs or not working for health reasons parents/carers seeking respite and relaxation away from their caring responsibilities The choir meets weekly on Wednesdays during term time from 1-1.45pm in St George's Church. The aim of the choir is to offer a relaxing and enjoyable experience of singing with others. There is no audition, members do not need to be able to read music, and performances are infrequent, low key and informal. The choir's repertoire includes inspirational and sacred music in styles such as gospel, jazz, pop, folk (from the British Isles and beyond) and light classical music – anything that will spark joy for a group of mixed ability singers! If you are interested in joining, you are welcome to come to a rehearsal to see whether it might be for you. Please sign up online [HERE ](https://sgsg.churchsuite.com/groups/gajxaubx)so we can get in touch with further information, or email if you have any further questions. The choir is part of the choral outreach programme at St Giles' and St George's, Ashtead, but church membership is not a requirement and we welcome people of all faiths and none.

Outdoor theatre: Illyria presents The Pirates of Penzance at Hatchlands Park

Frederick, accidentally apprenticed to Pirates as a child, is indentured to the Pirate King until his 21st birthday. On the day he reaches 21 he leaves the ship, announcing that he now intends to dedicate his life to the Pirates’ destruction. The Pirate King checks the contract’s small print – and realises that as Frederick’s birthday is 29 February on a leap year he has only had four birthdays and is actually indentured for another 63 years. With only the Penzance constabulary to protect him, will Frederick be forced to serve the pirates until he is 84? And will his sweetheart, Mabel, wait for him that long? Performed by a six-strong cast of actor/singers with fully orchestrated accompaniment. Running time is approximately 120 mins (including a 20-minute interval).
