Carols by Candlelight

Published 13:13 on 18 Dec 2025

Last night, Keyhaven Yacht Club hosted a delightful Carols by Candlelight event, attended by over 70 members. The evening was filled with festive spirit and joyful singing.

The event was hosted by Vice Commodore Janet and beautifully accompanied by Chris Burton, the Director of Music from Walhampton School. The evening opened with a touching introduction of Once in Royal David's City, sung beautifully by Chris's son, Rupert. Adding to the charm of the evening, the children among the congregation joined together to sing a wonderful first verse of Away in a Manger.

With plenty of carols and candlelit atmosphere, it was truly a fabulously festive evening. Thank you to everyone who attended, and special thanks to Janet, Chris, and not forgetting Chris Caswell, who added extra sparkle to the evening with his impressive bell-ringing skills.
