Come share in the Christmas story at All Saints' at 6pm on Sunday 22 December 2024. 
                    
                    
                    Our nationally renowned choirs, numbering over 40 singers, will be bringing the story alive with an impressive 
                    array of carols, both old and new. And, of course, the congregation is warmly invited to join with them to sing all 
                    their old favourite hymns. 
                    
                    
                    Though there is no need to book, we highly recommend turning up at least 15 minutes early to ensure a good seat!

                    All Saints' Church, Northampton, invites boys and girls in years 3-6 for a day of fun, games, and singing.
                    
                    
                    Over the course of the afternoon, youngsters will have the chance to find out what it's like to be a chorister at All Saints'.
                    
                    
                    They'll meet the choir, learn some fun songs, play some games, and appear alongside the choir in a short concert at the end of the day.
                    
                    
                    Afterwards, there will be a chance for the parents to meet the music staff and existing choir parents, and to ask any questions.
                    
                    
                    Any child who has enjoyed the day and shows a spark will be offered the chance to formally audition for the choir. No previous experience 
                    is required, just a good singing voice and bags of enthusiasm.
                    
                    
                    
                    
                    
                    THIS EVENT IS NOW FULL.
                    
                    
                    If you come to All Saints' on Sunday, I'm afraid we will not be able to let you in.

                    The Northampton Together Vigil, held on the Portico of All Saints' Church in Northampton, are community events designed to bring people 
                    together in solidarity and reflection during times of crisis, mourning, or in celebration of unity. These vigils have become an important 
                    part of Northampton's collective response to significant local and national events, offering a space for people of all backgrounds to come 
                    together and support one another. Often led by local clergy and community leaders, the vigils include moments of silence, prayer, and 
                    speeches that promote healing, hope, and togetherness.
                
                
                    All Saints' Church, with its prominent location and historical significance, serves as an ideal setting for these vigils, reinforcing the 
                    town's commitment to unity and compassion. These events have become a powerful symbol of Northampton's resilience and dedication to 
                    supporting one another in difficult times.
