FEEL THE SOUND! A Musical Choir Experience

All-Day Choir Workshop – Saturday 2nd May 2026
Harrogate High School | 10:00am – 4:00pm

Join us for an unforgettable day of inspiring music, vocal energy, and warm community spirit at our All-Day Choir Workshop, held in the fantastic North Yorkshire spa town of Harrogate.

Led by experienced choral directors Craig Antony Lees and Greg Link, this feel-good workshop is open to everyone who loves to sing — whether you're a seasoned choir member or just someone who belts it out in the shower. Come along solo, or better still, bring your whole choir with you! We'll be diving into uplifting pop and gospel pieces in a warm, welcoming atmosphere full of good vibes, great music, and plenty of harmonious fun.
