Shrewsbury Cantata Choir Presents "A New Messiah" Handel's Messiah at St. Chad’s Church, Shrewsbury.

Cantata Choir, under the skilled direction of conductor Anthony Coupe, is proud to announce an upcoming performance of Handel's Messiah. This highly anticipated concert will take place at St. Chad’s Church in Shrewsbury on Saturday, 20 December 2025 at 7:30 PM.

Soprano Julia Hagan shares her enthusiasm for the event: “Expect something intense and very moving. Messiah is probably the most performed of all pieces of choral music but this will be different. Cantata has a reputation for delivering major works from new perspectives, due to the brilliance of our Musical Director Tony Coupe. We have wonderful soloists, an excellent orchestra in Shrewsbury Sinfonia and there will be time to recover in the interval when we’ll be serving wine and soft drinks.”

Tickets are £20, with free admission for students and those under 18 and are available at https://www.shrewsburycantatachoir.org.uk/ or at the door - subject to availability.

Well-being Community Fundraiser Day at The Ark – Saturday 6 December 2025 - 10am to 4pm.

On Saturday 6 December, The Shrewsbury Ark is opening its doors for a special Well-being Community Fundraiser Day – and everyone is invited to come in, have a look around, and see the work we do every day to support people facing homelessness.

Local professionals are giving their time completely free to help raise funds, offering foot care, haircuts, massages, and gentle therapies, all at least 25% below their usual prices. Every penny raised goes directly towards keeping the Ark open and supporting people in crisis across our town.

There will be fresh food and drinks, kindly provided by the Food Hub, and the Ark’s team will be available throughout the day to chat, answer questions, and show visitors around the building. It’s a rare opportunity to step inside the Ark and learn more about how they provide emergency food packs, daily support, tenancy readiness, and specialist mental health and neurodiversity help.

Whether you want to book a treatment, enjoy something to eat, or simply look around and find out more about Shrewsbury’s homelessness charity, you’ll be warmly welcomed.

Feel good, do good, and help support the Ark this winter.
