The choir has been running since 2013 and whilst it is based in Skipton, membership comes from many of the surrounding towns and villages.

The choir is encouraging people to come and support their local choral society and celebrate the summer with them.

Tickets are £15 which include a free glass of wine or a soft drink.

They are available from boltonpriory.org.uk and on the door on the night.
