Hello

Id love to take my 3 year old to a christmas singing thing at some point?mainly for me, love a bit of carol singing. Are there any toddler carol singing events in ed area over the next few weeks? Does anyone know when the southwark cathedral carols will be? I think that might be a bit full on for him but just interested.

I listed a carol service in West Dulwich on 13 Dec on this local parenting Facebook group if you scroll down:

Can cut and paste info when on my computer (can't copy it across on my phone)

Carols on the Green Event on Thursday 18th December 6pm, is very child friendly - organised by Goose Green Primary School PTA, it's led by the school music teacher. Mulled wine, minced pies, carol song sheets and a brass band to accompany the carol singing round the Christmas Tree.

A non-facebooker here(!) - the event sounds great, what other additional info is on the fb page? Thanks

My then 3 year old, 1 year old and I went to the Christingle service at St John's Church just by Goose Green last year and it was lovely. Plenty of carol singing, plus handing out of the Christingle orange, lit with candles etc. It was late afternoon (about 4-ish I seem to remember)and a very welcoming and family friendly atmosphere.

Horniman Museum has carols this Sunday as part of their Christmas Fair. It's usually very busy (lots of children!) and in the past they've handed out song sheets for the final carols so everyone sings along.

Sorry for the confusion - it's Thursday the 18th December!


Here is the information on the page:

Thanks Vrook for suggesting Bach to Baby!


I'm Miaomiao who runs Bach to Baby, and we have a very special concert planned for our Dulwich Village concert on Monday Dec. 8th, 10:30am. The programme is a Festival of Songs, featuring David Jones, Baritone. We will also have lots of sing-along carols at the end, so come prepared to sing!


Our West Dulwich/Tulse Hill concert is Friday Dec. 19th at 4pm

and that is a special Trombone and Sackbut concert. Rare opportunity to hear the ancient instrument live.

of course, we'll have your favourite carols to end too.


So, if you have any questions, just PM me, or write back here.


more info can be found at http://www.bachtobaby.com/londonsouth


Hope that helps!

Hey Anya, hope you're really well! We took the kids to the christingle at St. John's last year and it was really lovely, Nancy really liked it (tho I nearly had a heart attack when she nearly set light to someone with her christingle candle). It is hugely popular, so be sure to get there early - http://www.stjohnseastdulwich.org/the-goose-green-centre - looks like there's one at 3 and 4.30 on Xmas Eve xx

This event was lovely last year: full of kids and lots of smiling happy faces.


Carol Singalong at St Barnabas church on Sunday 14 December at 3. 30pm for about an hour


There will be mulled wine ,mincepies and drinks for the children We will sing 10 carols including Away in the Manger ,Little Donkey etc


Last year over 100 people came . Very welcome friends ,children and grandchildren


Dulwich Helpline are providing the mulled wine and the Singalong is in aid of Dulwich Helpline .

You won't be able to miss it! This year, we are planting a living Christmas tree (with Southwarks blessing) on Goose Green. It's to be at least 6foot I believe. The planting is due to take place tomorrow on the green - in the long term goose green primary school will take responsiblity for long term upkeep of the tree. The children of the school will decorate it before Carols on the Green.


I will take a photo and post it here so there is no doubt where will will meeting!

Thanks for all these ideas and info, Caroline that sounds great for Christmas Eve if you're going again this year let me know! We were considering southwark cathedral but closer to home might be preferable. Had a similar incident with Maurice last year with a candle at a Christmas Eve carol service...

Xx

Hey, we've a Christmas toddler nimble tots session on Monday and Wednesday, finishing with a singalong of carols round the piano, a there's a few tickets left. There's a bit more detail on the website at http://goo.gl/Vcll2W, but it'll be a Christmas musical story (lots of cello, ukulele, djembe...) followed by carols and craft.

Went to a lovely Christmas Crib Service at St Faith's in North Dulwich today. The toddlers and children acted out the story of baby Jesus and I got to sing away to all the Christmas songs I've loved over the years. Always takes me back to morning assembly at Bessemer! They even had a play area at the back of the church for toddlers who couldn't sit still for long!

    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
