Yesterday we had our Choral Outreach Celebration d Yesterday we had our Choral Outreach Celebration day 🎶 We had such a fun day celebrating the beautiful #LeavesofSouthwell singing songs about plants, nature and our 13th century carvings! We had two local schools visit the Minster and participate in singing workshops, crafts and storytelling in the morning. And ended the wonderful day with a fabulous concert with all the children performing and singing their hearts out. We even got to debut the ‘These are our Leaves’ song created as part of the Leaves of Southwell Project. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this day possible. #choraloutreach #singing #theseareourloeaves #chapterhouse #southwell #southwellminster #minster #minstergram #cathedral #cathedralgram #cathedralsofinstragram @heritagefunduk @southwellmusicfestival @diocesesouthwellnottingham @visit.newark.sherwood @visitsouthwell
