ST BREWARD church held its annual ‘Carols by Candlelight’ event exactly a week before Christmas.

With the church full to bursting, the service featured the St Breward Handbells performing carols as a welcome to the congregation, the Moorland Benefice Choir singing a couple of solo spots during the service, and the carol singing accompanied by organist, Julie Blackburn.

It was said that the event was ‘a wonderfully atmospheric evening helped by a mince pie and a glass of warming mulled wine — a great start to Christmas’.
