Carols make memories

5th December 2024

Memory cafe patrons were joined, for the first time, by residents of the care home, Malden House, Sidmouth for their annual carol service at Sidmouth Parish Church on December 4th.
The service, conducted by the Revd Annita Denny, featured the music of Exeter-based chamber choir St.David’s Singers, who specialise in singing a cappella. Carols were accompanied by organist Andrew Benoy.
Following the service, the congregation re-assembled at Twyford House to sample mulled wine and mince pies.
