The event, organised by Broughton Choral Society, will take place on Saturday, December 8, and will form part of the society’s Christmas concert.

Christopher Lambton, from the society, said: “Handel’s Messiah is indisputably the most popular oratorio in the English language.

“It’s also probably the longest, which can make a complete performance something of an endurance test for singers and audience alike.”

Broughton Choral Society’s Christmas concert is on Saturday, December 8, at 7.30pm in Broughton Village Hall.

Tickets, priced £7 (£5 concs), are available from choir members, Broughton Village Stores or by calling 07879 470920.
