Hosted by the Renaissance
Ladies’ Chorus, it’s at Tower
Street Methodist Church, in aid
of Devon Freewheelers. There’s
free admission, but the organisers are asking for donations.
Devon Freewheelers is a
team of 50 volunteer emergency vehicle drivers dedicated
to providing a weekday out-of-
hours and a weekend service
supporting the NHS hospitals

lives.

Christmas carol workshop was
attended by more than 40
