VILLAGERS will harmonise their voices at a hymn concert in Kennington.

The parish council has announced the date of its annual 'carols around the tree' event to mark the countdown to Christmas.

Residents are welcome to join members at the war memorial in The Avenue on Sunday, December 4.

The singalong at 6pm will be followed by warm mince pies and mulled wine at St Swithun's Church.

Traditionally the Christmas tree lights are also switched on at the event.
