With several hundred pre-registrations for free online tickets to date, this year's Kenilworth Lions Carol Concert already looks a great success.

However, the Lions are keen that as many local people as possible know about the concert, and can watch it when it has its premiere showing on YouTube on Saturday 19th December at 6.00 pm.

Involving a virtual choir of over fifty singers, the Salvation Army band, plus local schoolchildren, readings and performances of the Christmas story, the virtual concert will have all the ingredients of the traditional Lions' events held in Abbey Fields Kenilworth, which often mark the real start of the Christmas period for many in the local community.

Production of the concert has been generously supported financially by Kenilworth Town Council, the Rotary Club of Kenilworth, and the Kenilworth Round Table.

A DVD of the concert is being produced and will be available to buy from the Lions afterwards.

Full details of the event, how to apply for free tickets and buy copies of the DVD, can be found on the Kenilworth Lions website.
