The concert featured a Salvation Army brass band from Andover and Barton Stacey Village Choir. Boaz members enacted the traditional nativity story while the supporting cast included live animals – our much-loved resident donkey and three sheep.

After a hearty singalong, mulled wine and mince pies added to the festive cheer. Despite Covid curbs and limited numbers, the ticket-only event on December 3 was still a “whole heap of fun,” said manager Stuart Palmer. He thanked all the staff and volunteers who organised the carol concert, the first for two years. A special collection and sale of hand-made gifts raised £500 for the project.
