Carols, wine and mince pies

6th December 2025

Exeter based St David’s Singers joined memory cafe members, volunteers and friends in a service of carols and lessons at Sidmouth Parish Church.

The singers presented music before the service and a series of unaccompanied carols.

The lessons were read by volunteers Susan Cremer and Will Drover-Taylor and chair of trustees, Nicola Channon.

This very well attended service was led by the Rev Annita Denny and the organist was Andy Benoy.

Mince pies and mulled wine, served at Twyford House, followed the carols.
