LYTCHETT-LINE OUTINGS CLUB

Salisbury Cathedral Christmas Carol Concert – Wednesday
12 December
N.B. After running the LLOC for the last 18 years I’ve decided that this will be the
last outing that I organise. Thank you all of you who’ve been on trips – what fun
we’ve had – and only 6 wet days in all that time! I’ve found someone who’s
considering taking on the future running of the club, providing enough Members
will let them have the contact details in the Club’s database. Please let me know
if you’re happy for me to pass your details over, or not. Thank you all.

Just 6 tickets left available as I write for our last outing of the year, to Salisbury
Cathedral’s Christmas Carol Concert, so please don’t leave it too late to book
and risk disappointment.
These Christmas Carol Concerts are only open to groups and are similar to the
famous ‘Lessons and Carols’ from King’s College, Cambridge. At 14.00 The
Cathedral Choristers and the Men’s Choir combine to give a magnificent choral
concert that benefits from the cathedral’s wonderful acoustics. Following the
Concert we’ll enjoy mulled wine and mince pies in the Cloisters.
You’ll be able to combine the concert with a optional 60 min Cathedral Floor Tour
at 12.00 at no extra cost, or enjoy a 90 min tour of the Cathedral Tower at 11.30, if
you’re fit and can manage the 332 steps!, for £13.50 extra, The Refectory will be
open for lunch.

The excellent Salisbury Christmas Market will also be open, so you could opt for
Christmas shopping before the Cathedral Tour, or miss the tour and spend more
time at the market and shops! There’s also the option to visit ‘Arundells’, Edward
Heath’s former home, and the National Trust’s ‘Mompesson House’, both in the
Cathedral Close.
The total price, including a transept seat, the coach, concert entrance and
(optional) cathedral tour, is £25 each. We’ll leave Lytchett Matravers (free
Parking) at 09.00 on Wednesday 12 December and return from the Cathedral at
16.00, to be back home, full of Christmas spirits, at c.17.15.
