Football fans at a loose end after England's World Cup exit could cheer themselves up by swapping terrace chants for Christmas carols at a big event this week.
Shrewsbury's Carols in the Square returns on Wednesday evening
Alas, it wasn't to be. But it does mean that instead of packing the pubs for the match, more people could pack The Square for the festive singalong. Music will be provided by Shrewsbury Brass Band, with members of Shrewsbury Male Voice Choir leading the crowds with renditions of classic Christmas carols including Silent Night, On the First Day of Christmas and O Little Town of Bethlehem.
Town clerk Helen Ball said: “I am really excited for our Carols in the Square concert which is a fantastic way to mark the festive season just before Christmas. We have worked tremendously hard to put on this well-loved event and I am looking forward to seeing and hearing all the people in the Square.“For those who aren’t able to make it to the town centre, there are other ways to take part.
