It is hoped that within the next 12 months, the talented group of singers will be able to resume the busy schedule they enjoyed before the pandemic.

Before the pandemic, they conducted services at Westminster Abbey and St Paul’s in London, the magnificent cathedrals of Durham and Liverpool, in addition to traveling abroad to sing in front of crowded audiences at concerts of summer in Brittany.
The choir also travels annually to the Isle of Man where they spend time receiving concentrated musical training, while enjoying a vacation together.
However, the life of a Broughton chorister is not just music. With annual events such as Dads and Lads Football
Tournament, Quick Cricket ‘Kit-Kat Trophy’, Afternoon of Summer Sports, The BBQ, Day Trips in North Wales and
Blackpool Pleasure Beach, there are certainly plenty of opportunities for members of this enthusiastic team to play
and relax together.
