The Parks Trust Warms Up its Singing Voice for Carols at the MK Rose

By Sarah Featley

The Parks Trust, the charity that cares for Milton Keynes’ parks and green spaces, is getting ready for one of the highlights of its events calendar – the annual Christmas carols celebration.

This year, Carols will be held at the MK Rose, located in Campbell Park. The event starts at 3pm on Sunday 18^th December 2016 with a performance by Abbeys Primary School from Bletchley, and the carolling will commence at 3.30pm. Singing will be accompanied by MK Youth Brass from Community Learning MK: Music Faculty.

All are welcome to the Carols at MK Rose event, which is free to attend. Willen Hospice will be selling refreshments including mulled wine and mince pies, in order to raise money for the hospice.

Julie Dawes, Events & Recreation Co-ordinator at The Parks Trust said: “We can’t wait for our carols event – it’s a hugely popular Milton Keynes tradition and it wouldn’t feel like Christmas without it. Last year we were able to raise a considerable amount of money for Willen Hospice and we’re aiming to do even better this time! We hope to see you there; don’t forget to wrap up warm and bring a torch or lantern.”

The nearest public parking for Carols at the MK Rose can be found at Milton Keynes Shopping Centre, with just a short walk over the bridge at the John Lewis end of the centre. Limited blue badge disabled parking available at Campbell Park off Avebury Boulevard.
